    That looks like a real CF overlay similar to what Prophet was selling a couple months back. Nice find!

    Yeah i know its carbon fiber but the gauges themselves are different.
    I'm not 100% sure what the big turbo is but it's made by Schweitzer.

    the gauges would be the AC Technic inverted (or whatever it's called gauges) from YEARS ago. Hell I can't even remember the exact name of the brand, but they don't make those anymore. Some Ebay brands have pretty much come out with the same product though. These gauges were the first available gauges of this type for the Galant I believe, and I know the OG's had something to do with getting the product made.

    I could NEVER run that massive turbo on the Galant haha I just couldn't pass it up because the price was right.

    Wow that's pretty interesting. Guess I'm even luckier than I thought to grab it then!

    Those gauges are AC AutoTechnic S7 Gauges. I have a set also that I bought in '07-08. I have a feeling those gauges mightve came off of a TGC members/lurkers car. Because they cleared the needles too, which is something that was popular for alot of the members on here. (We have a tutorial on it as well.)

    Thanks for providing the name, i was curious lol. It definitely could have been a member from here although I do believe that the car they came out of was otherwise 100% stock.

    Do you have any pics of yours at night?

    Compound setup man...Do it. A guy on the Fit forums could probably give you some advice. He knows his DSM's.

    What do you mean compound?

    In a sense.

    From the guy on Fitfreak:

    This produces insane spool and torque with huge top end. It's also incredibly efficient. So the small turbo will be in the traditional position on the back of the block by the firewall, and the big turbo will be mounted in the factory battery location over the transmission.

    For reference on the turbos I am discussing the 14B (35lbs/min max or ~320whp) is considerably bigger then the GT25R (28lbs/min or 240whp) 90% of the turbo fit's on this forum are running. I am considering running a 14B and an HX35.
    Hope that explains it...I know I can't even dream of explaining it lol
