i did a boost gauge awhile ago, but i just took some pics of it to show you guys.

i was gunna go with the DIY vent pod, but i found something easier and in my opinion it doesnt look half bad.

i just popped out 2 of the blank switches and ran the wires through the back down to the fusebox. i hate electrical stuff, and this was my first wiring job, so it wasnt as easy for me as it sounded.

 

since then i have shaved it down a bit more and it sits a bit further back in the vent now

 

that looks pretty good. i like the white one you got

 

is it bad that at idle i only read 14 pounds of vacuum?

 

^ yeah, it should ready about 20. i would do a compression test or check the line to make sure theirs not a kink in the boost guage line.

 

is that the tinted face 7color gauge..if so i have the same one lol.

 

man that looks great! what did you do to make it sturdy so it won't fall out and all that?

perhaps make a DIY thread about how you did this, it would be a great option for those that can't afford an APR/AWE? kit

 

haha, yeah, actually, i looked at your pics and looked for the one you got cause i wanted to make sure it matched colors and all and i just liked urs.






i actually had to get a dremel out to make it fit, but i didnt really need to use anything to hold it in place cause it was so snug. i wanna put somethin in the cracks to make it look a little better, but i dunno what to use.
ive never done a DIY but maybe some day when ive got the time ill get to it. i still consider myself somewhat of a noob, but i'd love to contribute! i mean ive gotten more help an advice on here that i expected

 

 

if you want an easy DIY option, do what I did... Use your current vent.
