what is the large white gauge on the passenger side of the cabin? i can't make out what it is, but it doesn't look like a normal instrument gauge.

Magnahelic - super precise low pressure gauge. I suspect it's connected to intake air system somehow.

Interesting. What's the benefit/use?

now that you mention the intake, i would guess its a way of tuning a restrictor plate for class rules?

Yes I saw that, that's way I'm now at 3501# to make it work with my average Hp.
The good news is that they dinged the Audi and VW factory front wheel drive race cars even more.

You guys pay attention..
Yes I can measure air box pressure (or under the hood negative pressure for better cooling) but in this particular case I'm measuring neg pressures on my diffuser and undertray. I made some changes and would like to know what's happening under the car.

I imported that from Germany.
The driver door alone saved 56lbs!

Oh nice! It looks to be analog, does it log data at all (I see what appears to be electronics behind it). So you just sort of move the sensor around and it's pretty good for real feedback? We love this stuff.

Analog, however I have it then digital on my camera with data overlay....kinda digital...lol..
The digital precise units are crazy expensive...this does the trick just fine...

How did you like the KW CS? Was it a decent jump up to MCS from them?
I’m currently on V3’s but looking to upgrade
