So how do you like the controller? Does it make the car drive better? How did you install your egt meter? I am interested in doing that...

I did it this afternoon, so so far I've only driven it once to school and back... seems to have a little more pep on the freeway (it wasn't slow before though). The turbo spools up a bit sooner, but I haven't noticed any major differences caused by that (yet).

The wastegate hose was a bit oily; searching this forum I see others have had this happen so I guess it isn't too unusual. I have to wonder if it'll hurt the boost controller over time though (gunk it up or whatever).

I have only installed the EGT gauge itself; the probe I have bought but have not installed yet. Honestly I have no idea how to drill and tap the exhaust manifold so at some point I'm going have to ask my dad to help me with it ;-).
