    Well, its disappointing that the TRD SC package does not include a cool boost gauge. But I'm sure someone out there has installed one.

    What's the best (i.e. most OEM looking) setup available out there in terms of boost gauge and pod???? Also, how does it connect? Does the TRD SC have a port to hook directly in to?

    blower has a boost port (look for a red rubber or orange rubber cap on top).

    looks is up to you, I went with an autometer for boost, and AEM for wideband in a lotek pod

    Pretty simple, just follow instruction with the gauge. The boost port is already in the supercharger and the gauges should come with tubing. I prefer electrical over mechanical so I having a sending unit under the hood and just run electrical into the cab, rather than tubing all the way to a gauge. Minimize chances of the tubing developing a leak, or worse, have oil spray inside of cab if one chooses something like a mechanical oil pressure gauge.

    How does everyone like the Lotek? I thought I read that it doesn't line up well and the color is off from the stock plastics?

    Yeah Ive got the flex pod for boost and AFR but it would be nice to have another location for fuel pressure and meth injection or something
