I don't know why they are different. Maybe the intercooler blocks some airflow through the rad? I'm not pulling power in either scenario, so maybe it's the extra water volume, or maybe my thermostat is a bit sluggish, who knows?

Very Good!
This is on my list of things that made me cringe when I was at Whitley and now I own my own X308, must be made correct some day.

My list is

1) 15 HU adapted diff with LSD
2)Split log exhaust manifold that groups up 270 deg separated cylinders without restricting exhaust flow
3) Gauge pack that reflects real world meaurements
4)Low EBP to less than 500 Mbar
5)lower intake losses

plenty more I haven't even touched upon here

I installed this kit with an open circuit on the orange/yellow wire. This causes the low oil pressure alarm to go off because an open circuit. I was told to ground the the orange/yellow to the black wire. If the alarm stopped, that would be a clear sign that I had not installed the wire correctly. I don't know what I did wrong but now I don't have any intrumentation. It still runs everything works but the instruments. Any suggestions?

You likely damaged the instrument pack. It can probably be rebuilt.

Hopefully it is just a blown fuse. We are working to figure out what is going on now.

It was just a blown fuse. So I am back to square one or two.
