Default boost guage question

Just went by MJM Autohaus yesterday and found out that they no longer carry the boost guage that so neatly fits into one of the air conditioning vents. does anyone know where i can still find those? I'd like to get one and get it installed shortly after i get the car chipped which is going to be fairly soon.

all 52mm/ 2 1/16" gauge with the C bracket will fit in the vent. no reason to buy anything special for it

I used this one from glowshift I trimmed the mounting holder it came with and used glue to hold a few pieces of it so that air still flows around it. It looks pretty good in the vent and the changing backlight is nice

i bought an auto meter gauge today and made a vent mount out of styrofoam. looks really good and didn't cost a thing. i'll take some pics and post them tomorrow.

I actually copied hotgrass because I had purchased the Awe vent guage but it was on backorder and when I saw his pictures it looked just as good only difference is I leave it on pink

i just sanded/dremeled the ring that came with it and cutted it in to 4 small pieces and glued them to the gauge.

That sounds a little bit easier then my method of using the saw blade of a gerber but I also cut the ring into 4 pieces and glued it to the gauge and my easy solution for finding the correct wires was to just poke the stripped end of the wires into the light switch untill everything lit up correctly then splice them
