THEKING · 02-20-2008, 08:20 PM

how much does something like that cost?

indysoccer16 · 02-20-2008, 11:47 PM

I just stumbled across this thread and read the first page, but I was just making sure you arent actaully going to be running hte aem truboost as any kind of a controler, only a readout correct? If not I would highly suggest against it as I have it in my car, and it is a piece of crap. I am switching to a needle guage only, and turbo xs dual stage true boost.

spikely23 · 02-21-2008, 01:56 AM

looking really nice! But how were the able to run the bars through the black glass? is that factory black glass?

Nice pretty parts! Like the post above. how do you take the bed off if you have problems?

***andocommando*** · 02-21-2008, 11:26 AM

guhman2002 · 02-21-2008, 03:57 PM

I would have to assume there is a "pull a few pins and remove rear bar" option but I dunno.

99 BUCKET · 02-21-2008, 09:00 PM

Sorry... I can not remove the bed as a result of the bars going through, that is correct. I could lift it but not remove it, although for myself im not to concerned about that. I can't see a need to remove my bed unless I am in an accident, and in that situation the bar would likely have to be replaced as well.. Give and take... The price we pay to go fast.
