Behind the Dash [Vent style boost gauge finished... with pictures]

RE: Behind the Dash
Its in progress right now. I have the line ran through the firewall and to the vent. Im waiting for the effing silicone to dry on the adapter before putting the gauge and vent back in.
Once the dash was down, it explained itself. As for the electrical, I just tapped into the light fuse and grounded it at the common ground. Pictures to come.

Here ya go. It was in a weird spot so I never took a picture the first time. You can barely see where it goes in. Use the strut bar as a reference point. its in the firewall behind the intake.

lmfao... just noticed in the pictures that I put the vent ring adapter in backward with the blue marker arrow on the outside. That arrow is for reference. It lines up with the little black bump on the vent ring. I think you're supposed to have the side with the arrow facing forward. I guess I can get some alcohol or acetone and a q-tip and take off the arrow. The only reason it is supposed to face forward is so you don't see the arrow. Otherwise the thing is the same shape no matter how you put it in. -shrugs- Can't see it from the driver's vantage point anyhow.
