There are applications that will put the device to sleep if no motion is detected on the screen side camera. You can wire the device to a car charger and have the charger hidden in the dashboard. As a suggestion instead of doing a grip of round gauges consider using an android device that has a 4" screen and running the torque app and a bluetooth ELM OBD interface. The ECM does have a lot of metrics you can access BUT you will have to locate gauges that have the capability of reading those metrics. you would have to add a pressure sensor and that can be done using one of the 2 plugs in the side of the block under the turbo. The solstice does not have an oil pressure sensor. Gauge pods are easy to make from fiberglass if needs be. I believe DDM works makes an A pillar gauge pod for the Solstice. take the HVAC vents out and gauges fit in those places. Cut the resonator off the factory air cleaner box and you have the best CAI that money can buy for the car. The stock air cleaner box only pulls air from the front just behind the bumper cover. well that would mean it pulls warm air from the engine area. The other thing is the cone style air cleaner that is used pulls air from 360° around it. Most aftermarket ones use metal piping which will heat the incoming air, that in and of itself goes against calling it a cold air intake. The factory air box and piping is a cold air intake. If you have a cold air intake chances are it is not a cold air intake. If a bearing went it will have a rolling pin going over sand type of a feel. It should be smooth as silk for the entire 360°. So rotate the turbine slowly keeping your fingers on the turbine as you rotate it. If a seal in the turbo went it is usually due to a failed bearing. Take your finger and wipe it across the inside of the turbine housing and then look at your finger and give it a smell too (damned the jokes!!). You can also determine the exact fluid when you pull the downpipe. Coolant smoke (steam) will have a sweetish smell to it. Oil smoke will have a slight bluish hue to it. Oil and coolant smoke will not be too far apart in color. There are a lot of reasons why a turbo can be the cause of white smoke. We want to rule out something like a head gasket issue if possible. you can edit a post and add additional thoughts to it if you want.
