DrSpeed Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Might plan on having like a mini-install day. All my tools are up in Bellingham, WA. mclarenf3 may come down, depending on when I commendere the GT from the fiance. More are welcome. So, being the eternal slacker that I am, I'm now finally finding time to install this. Is there any programing or updates I need to do before installing it? BANNED FROM THE TIKI FORUM.

lossol Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Is there any programing or updates I need to do before installing it? Since version 1.04 and previous is not up-gradable...nope. Most of the recent discussion has been about version 1.05, we are doing beta testing now. First unit ships tomorrow and the second is soon to follow. I have about 6 beta testers and look forward to the feedback. Is there one for '10+? Not yet...but I will need a beta tester for placement and fit when this one comes out...we are all set for LGT 4th Gen 1.05 beta testers.

lossol Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 A few Beta units are out, haven't heard much feedback yet, it's a busy time of year. I hope the install goes well. When I installed mine I found it a little tricky to fold the ribbon cable correctly to get proper fitment into the vent. This version uses a slightly thicker ribbon cable to accommodate more signal I/O. I don't think it's a problem just need to write up a little blurb in the install manual so people know they can fold it without worry about crushing it. I am trying to get the programming instructions out soon as well. I want the beta testers to run through that process to see if they have any problems programming. I also need to get the updated manual out because a few of the configurations menus have changed. 10+ LGT proto fitment board should be arriving soon! I know there's a few LGT 10+s out there waiting. I do want to do maybe two beta testers on that one for fitment issues / install pics. VBG1 gauges available at www.gtboostgauge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shutterbc Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well, I just finally saw the VBG for myself. I have been subscribed to this thread for over a year. Such an interesting project and I'm positive I will get one of these as soon as you have more of them made. It has been said before, but what a high quality piece of work, lossol.

lossol Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 JP has run into a few issues but I believe it's related to hand assembly, a few intermittent issues cropped up like we have seen on previous (v1.03) beta units. Hes getting another shipped out soon. Looking forward to code's results. VBG1 gauges available at www.gtboostgauge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lossol Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 No prob, hope to get a pic or two up of the ribbon cable fold needed for installation, that part may be the trickiest but not bad. Just don't want any gauges not turning on b/c of cable install... Other news: Production units are out for quote. Hoping to hear news back soon about delivery times. New overlays for 5th Gen LGT are on their way from the factory. Already have the PCB. VBG1 gauges available at www.gtboostgauge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lossol Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 It may be necessarily to put a fold in the ribbon cable to allow some horizontal strain relief on the connector assembly. I have had good success making a fold like shown. The idea is to get the ribbon cable to go off to the left and exit the vent out the plastic notch area shown.

Did a quick run, and made sure everything was working! Will report back in the next week with updates and suggestions! Keep up the good work Andy!
