AAM Twin Turbo Kit

Don't take out the three gauges in the dash if you're using Ecutek. You need the OEM oil temp gauge, and it's all one unit.

Why do say you "need" the OEM oil temp gauge with ecutek? Removing the gauge would only affect you from using the gauge hijack feature.

Exactly. Isn't it a pain in the *** adjusting the things that would use the gauge hijack when you don't have the gauge?

i thought gauge hijack just showed what the parameter were set to ie. max timing, afr, ethanol content. i didn't know you could actually adjust parameters this way. IMO i would still remove the OEM gauges and replace them with defi if your going FI. they provide more function over oem and look badass!

I agree i would not take this feature out as well...honestly one its a big pain in the *** to take out anyways and two i love the valet mode of the ecutek and im pretty sure it wont work unless you use your stock gauge..atleast i have not been able to find any installs with aftermarket gague to support this...i like having the ease when I do transport the Z that no matter what they will never be able to boost and go over 45 MPH

Yes, EcuTek temporarily hijacks the Oil Temp Gauge in the OEM Triple Cluster to indicate the Slip% on the Traction Control...which is important, and you need to know it especially for normal driving.
You can't isolate these OEM gauges.
For the sake of cost and convenience you can mount 2 aftermarket gauges in the cubby panel or the A pillar.
You really don't need any more than 2 since, in reality, you won't be looking at them much anyway.
Jason Gale (PHUNK) on this forum offers custom units to accommodate the mod. His work is exemplary and he is EZ to communicate with.

I am aware of who is Jason Gale and his product, I wont wont knock the product because people seem to like it and it looks like good quality but I personally had a bad experience with him from a customer service perspective.

yikes ... sorry to hear that, Jason is a real good guy and has done right by me every time. Last project was a cubby panel conversion to accept the Motec C125.
Fine Fit, Great Communication, Looks and Works well
