2016 CompO "5.sl0w" Bagged S550 Project

[CompO5.sl0w]

Quick walk through on install? Like how the trim came off, wire running, ect.

Trim comes off from right to left, be careful to not break the tabs. There's a small panel on the driver's side that has some screws. You snake the wire up through and behind the vents into the back of the nGauge. Not a hard install at all. Hope this helps, sorry to hijack.

^^What this guy said. The black trim where the hole is for the passenger window defroster comes off first. Then the small dash trim that wraps around the glove box. After that you are ready to pull off the main passenger side/middle trim. You will need to use some force, but try not to break anything. I used a plastic trim tool to wedge down the line.

I only removed the middle/passenger side trims and left the driver's side intact. Remove the vent from the trim, very easy but just be careful as the pins are pretty brutal. Might be best to do this inside the house if it's pretty cold in the garage. Then, I fished the nGauge wire from under the dash all the way up to the dash trim opening. Most recommend removing the driver's side trim to accomplish this, but I didn't want to take it off and risk breaking those damn tabs lol. Wrap 2x electrical tape around the outer edge of the back part of the gauge. Slide the gauge into the vent hole.

If you run into any issues any of you guys are welcome to send me a PM or reply here! :cheers:

Looking good. I've been meaning to get my hands on one of these just to try out.

I think the vent/gauge/tuners are going to be pretty big this year.

It's pretty nice man. I had Aeroforces on my 2011, and I thought those did the job but were lacking so much. The touchscreen on the nGauge really simplifies adjusting settings.

Looks awesome Trevor. :cheers:

Thanks man!

Speechless!

That's a great looking rear. Something about being aired out in the snow.

:cheers:

Awesome shots in the snow man. I hope before the 21 got there you tucked her away in one of those two garages there.

I was super nervous at first thinking I wasn't going to get her back in the garage :lol:.

Thanks man! Haha, yeah I pulled her right back in. Ended up getting a total of 37" here lol.

Quick update, installed the Steeda CAI and the Mishimoto Coolant Expansion Tank tonight. Both mods alone I think completely change the look of the engine bay. Expansion tank only took about 15 minutes total to install. Currently have the sound tube just kind of chilling ATM. Don't have a 3/8 or 1/4 swivel to remove it so going to stop at Lowe's tomorrow and pick one up.

Quick picture I took a while ago to reference a before picture,

Going to tackle the APR Front Splitter tomorrow night.

That's the tank with the tube on the side right? How is the fitment of the cap? That's my issue with the JLT tank and the reason I may quite possibly switch out.

Yep same one. Cap is the same OEM piece. It screwed on just fine however I was having a little trouble getting it to *click*. Figured my hands were just done for the day and try again tomorrow lol. She's tight though.

lol my biggest gripe about the JLT is I believe it's causing my car to smell like coolant with the blower. It doesn't go all the way down so when the coolant expands it's gotta go somewhere so I think it's releasing through the cap. I thought I had a leak but no leak. Coolant level hasn't changed for months. I just wish these tanks were a bit cheaper. Kinda like the GT350 steering wheel :frusty:

The stock resv overflow is right under the back of the cap neck and just drips down the back of the resv. The JLT may be the same way. (Think of it like the overflow drain on a sink.) The cap has to seal properly to maintain proper system pressure. So I imagine the JLT is setup like stock by the sounds of it and maybe your resv is overfilled? If your cap really isn't sealed properly that could be adding to the issue if the system isn't under the proper pressure it will boil over.
