I'm thinking this is a good thing. I'll take one. Probably do it tonight because my wallet is in my truck and it's snowing so I don't feel like going out there in my socks.:ugh2:

@Lex So is the first batch of parts going to the list we have made?

Not quite ... the people that get these have already made the request prior and they have the very important roles of reviewing the units. :) Don't worry, parts have been ordered for 30 more.


Harnesses are done as well and everything is tested. Just about to order the shipping boxes. Those that are getting these will get the invoices tomorrow.

Finally finished the instructions and the product is on my site:

Guardian Angel Overboost Protection [GUARDIAN_ANGEL] - $179.00CAD : Stratified Automotive Controls

Notice that it says Sold Out for now. When the new batch is ready, the quantity will be updated and you guys will be first to know. Until then watch for the reviews from the people that are getting them from the first batch.

mtlms3 02-27-2012 02:55 PM

Thanks Lex.

udaman!

mrmonk7663 02-27-2012 05:03 PM

Lex, you still going to operate off of the list we created in this thread for the next batch?

bigriver 02-27-2012 06:31 PM

Install guide guide looks great! Which fuse would be good to tap into with add-a-fuse? Wasnt sure if the pic was the actual or a "sample".

Yes, if you guys fill all 30 slots, I will already order more. The idea is that there is no waiting list for these but I have to gauge demand first. Also these are not just MS3 specific so I hope to garner interest from other turbocharged platforms

That is the MS3 location I used for my methanol and and guardian angel connections. The name is F29 - and it is a 15A circuit that powers the P. Outlet in the car.

I marked this on the MS3 wiring diagram below. The reason the instructions aren't MS3 specific is because the product is meant to be more generic. I am hoping a couple of the guys here that get these will do a nice writeup.

I ran the LED through the hood latch hole and the grommet fit back on there. I used a bent coat hanger to pull the LED through after I taped it to the coat hanger and it worked very well. Some images below

Sounds good :) Thanks Lex.

Squid 02-27-2012 09:33 PM

Will def. do this in the future, along with a nice PERM-tune..

p057 02-29-2012 11:05 AM

If i had a chance to order this now for my BT build, i would do so.

Soooo, let me know when they're available and I'll send monies. :)


Also, is there any reason why you're routing it to a fuse? couldn't I just tap to 12v ignition source and directly connect to battery via relay? Just to be easier for less confusion? I hate wires sticking out of fuse box, looks horrible to me.

Sir, I am doing all I can get this next batch out ASAP.

In regards to the fuse - regardless of where you get your power source, it is generally good practice to fuse the power line. The unit has reverse polarity protection but JUST in case, this is best practice and this is why everything in the car is fused. Last thing you want is an electrical fire.

Lol, i'm not hounding you, just excited and showing my interest :)

whoops, forgot to add that in my post, you're absolutely right. however, what i'll do is put in my own fuse holder and fuse. I have a bunch laying around anyway. I just don't like the idea of piggybacking. :(

Interest is definitely appreciated! As long as you fuse it correctly that would work just fine. The current draw is under 1A.

I know this will come up - and depending on demand - yes - but not initially. How is that for confusing? As demand climbs it will make more sense.

What color would you like?

Dano 03-01-2012 08:56 AM

Lex...you should have made them in black and been done with it lol

If everyone wants them in black, that's an easy enough change. I just thought blue would stand out more :) Perhaps that's not a good thing.

MS3kid08 03-01-2012 09:10 AM

I would love to have one :)

Woah, at this rate the 30 units on order are going to sell before they arrive. Thanks a lot everyone, if this batch sells like this the next will be larger.

Eagerly waiting for the reviews of the first few sent out ... they should be arriving this week :)
