I tapped into the hosing behind the supercharger that runs to the symposer assembly for my line to the boost gauge.
Where did you mount your boost gauge? I looked around and couldn't find anything for the A-Pillar other than the cheap plastic ones that you have to literally screw into the existing pillar.
That was my issue as well. I originally has a Snow Performance kit with the gauge pod, and couldn't come up with any GOOD solution to mount the gauge. Temporarily I had used 3M tape to a gauge pod to the lower left windshield and some mesh wire loom to hide the wiring as much as possible. I ended up switching over to an AEM controller with no boost gauge and hid it behind the panel on the end of the dash on the left side (Driver side in US), then drilled a small hole in the trim below the cluster for the LED to go. The LED brightness depends corresponds with boost/pump duty cycle, so I have some semblance of an idea of what's going on. If I need exact data I just plug in an OBD tool or use my VAP datalogger.

I considered putting one (gauge) in mine and even bought a pod. Most gauges are 2 1/8". I tried multiple locations as a test (non permanent) and there is literally no room IMO to make it look right...and by right, I mean factory, or tasteful AM.
I considered the pod on the Overhead console, but it barely blocks the mirror. Considered center dash, where the speaker is, but did not look good there either. A pillar was about the only place I could find...But as you mention, I could not find any nice looking/quality ones.
I resolved that I just did not need one. I have the VAP Datalogger tool/software, and I can just log and later will know how much boost I have in most scenarios..
I put my Snow Performance VC-30 controller in the right side fuse box. I tapped the right side lid for a boost reference which goes to the fuse box compartment to the included MAP sensor. Double sided tape mounts the controller on the dash trim, just where I can see it. Hasn't fell yet.
Spraying 50% @ 5psi and 100% @ 10psi using a #16 nozzle with Snow Performances ppremixed Boost Juice.
Would also like to add, I am using my washer fluid reservior for my WMI tank. The pump is on the underside skip plate which is below the washer fluid reservior.
Dropped back down to the 2.4" Upper Pulley and managed a personal best of 7.45 @ 96.5 mph. No mater what I do, cannot improve the 0-60 foot times at all but the MWI is doing a great job.
The previous weekend I was getting a ton of wheel slip but now I installed new Michelin tires and it grips like no other. Gained a tenth in the 1/8 mile with the new tires. Front is a 265/40R22 Pilot Sport 4S, rear is a 305/35R22 Pilot Super Sport. Now, they are exactly the same diameter front and rear and I get better wheel protection with the slightly wider rear tire. Much smoother ride withthe new tires as well. Not a fan of the Pirelli's.
...It might just need more power at this point to get that 60' down.
I wish the transmision tune was able to me manipulated. For my yukon, I was able to go into the Torque converter settings via HPTuners and increase the stall speed so it allows me to foot brake and build boost. If I foot brake the Jaguar, Torque Management causes it to fall on its face and then take off. The best way to launch that I have found was to stab the throttle while releasing the brake at the same time to allow a little jolt of boost. A 2,500 rpm launch would probably get this into the 1.6 - 60 foot range which would get me to the 7.3 or 7.2 range. Still fun none the less!
Yeah I agree, I'm fighting TCM issues with my S4, the ZF programming is locked down too much. Sucks as I have HPTuners as well, and they do the JLR stuff up to 2018, would make life so much easier. Makes me want to get an older XE and mod it because I can tune myself. Does your car go into launch mode?

I wish I cound tune this with HPtuners!! Unfortunalely, launch control didnt come out until the 2021 model. It says the 20212 F Pace SVR does 0 - 60mph in 3.5 seconds but mine is doing that on the street according to my last Dragy run. Also showed a 7.43 1/8 mile but that was a slight downhill grade so I cant fully count on this as truth.

Have you tried launching off idle? Something seems off with your numbers; I was running 7.1XX (11.0XX quarter) with just a lower pulley, tune and spark plugs. You've got a lot more going on and I'd expect your vehicle to be making more than enough power to push 1.6s 60ft.

Keep in mind that I am in a 2020 F-Pace SVR. With a full tank of fuel, I'm sitting at 4,660 lbs without the spare tire, a bit heavier than an F-Type in which this forum is for.
