    I have a ‘16 SR 2.7 that I plan an SC upgrade and want instruments to see oil pressure, H2O temp & boost.
    What are others using and how did you position them?
    Not much room to put a gauge cluster, but that’s what I prefer.

    Scan Gauge II is a good start for many things, including trans temp if you are auto.

    OPG and boost may need an A pillar mount.

    Where are you sourcing a SC and engine management?

    LCE for the equal length header (1041055) and URD for the 2.7L 2TR-FE SC (7015241), when the bracket for the 2016 becomes available.

    Thanks Bill, I ordered a ScanGauge II online from Amazon.
    After reading lots of reviews, it looks like there's a boost function programmable through the X-gauge function.
    Best price after searching online was $144, plus tax & free shipping.

    The URD SC is a Rotrex a centrifugal, belt-driven unit that looks much like a turbo.
    Turbos are exhaust gas driven, superchargers are externally driven by belts, gears or directly from an engine shaft.
    Go to the URD website, they explain it better.

    Huh. Learn something new every day. Does that thing have rotary screws inside? I never knew they had SC'ers that looked like turbos.

    Nah, it’s a high-speed compressor wheel inside a close tolerance enclosure mounted on a (independently lubricated bearing) shaft that has a ~9.4:1 overdrive pulley on the other end. Also comes with a large inter-cooler and UCON EMS for user/self tuning.
