What did you buy today

[Bidja]

Man, I love the GU4 center dash part! What is all that stuff going on there? Can you give me a brief tour on all those gauges and modules and stuff you got there?

Gadgets that sometimes put my head into a deeper state of confusion haha

You see part of the journey, now from bottom going up:
The radios are self explanatory.
Just above mic is an indicator (led/alarm) for the Water Watch _ diesel/water separator. hthttps://www.waterindiesel.com.au/tp://
Above hazard light is the Kings _ Throttle Control Unit: alters TPS signal sent to ECU/ECM (not used currently). Can work well with CRD drive by wire setup.

Round dial gauge is used to measure vacuum @ the VNT turbo actuator diaphragm (real time) actuator rod position which indicates the VNT vane aperture opening positioning within limits set. Vac gauge also shows the change rate of the vanes aperture relative to boost pressure and MAF voltage (MAF V measures by the multi meter at top of dash). MAF voltage is taken from MAF sensor (back probe connector or as I now have spliced into ECM harness). MAF voltage correlates to MAF rate (g/s) measured.

I play/trial with various boost control methods.

By the way the other two (in counsel cutout), the aux/main battery monitor plus electronic brake controller for tow.

Out of sight the (usual): EGT, Boost(relative), Oil and scan gauge.
