    Boost gauge fitting

    Hi i have got a boost gauge from a friend of mine. We were wondering where to put it and have decided to put it in the middle of the three vents. I no a few people have done this so could someone give me a little help of how they acheived this? Thanks for your help

    pull out the centre vent buy the use of a small flat head screw drive at top or bottom and just lift out gently. cut the slats, i used a coping saw and files etc. used a small piece of ally plate, super glued this to the front of the vent with a hole drilled in the plate for the gauge to it in and finally trimmed in black vinyl. will post a pic tomorrow.

    take off for the gauge was from the pipe going to the ecu and 12v for light from aux gauge 12v lights

      Whilst you are hacking your vents to bits, why not mount the gauge temporarily, as I did, under the dash (see my post in this thread).

      It takes a few mins to do and means that you can play with the vents at your leisure. It also means that the vents still open and close fully

      Cheers n
