Default installed my boost gauge woo :P

ok so as most of u know in my previous thread i got a GlowShift Boost/Vac Gauge. i wanted to get a pillar pod, but i said eh what the hell, i decided to go with the vent gauge, but i switched it up, i did it right on the drivers side, and used the lighted dial as my power source, wats pretty cool about that to is the lights dim on it too when i use my dimmers. well anyway heres some pictures.

i think this is normal, but i dont have a chip or a BT, just an upgraded DV, my boost gauge says around 5-8psi havent seen it go higher than 8 yet.

tomorrow ill get some more pictures when its nice out.
funny how i started at like 5:30 and just finished at like 7:30 and it got ultra dark from like really bright out, the biggest pain was grinding the vent to the right size.... speaking of, i just remembered i left the dremel out. k well ima go put that away, u peoples look at the pictures and let me know what u think. oh and before i forget, i was actually wrong, i turned on my ac, barely blowing hard and i still was able to feel it come out the vent

I'm wondering if in the winter when you want to defrost your side windows if that's gonna be an issue having the gauge there. I mean I know when I've got a heavy dew/frost in the morning I point that vent right at the window to clear it up.
