got my new boost gauge
« on: 02 April 2009, 22:09 »
bought my new boost gauge tuesday. i sat in my car and thought right my dash looks nice, clean and neat. do i really want a gauge sat on top. so i scrathed my head and thought were could i put this nice little gauge. i looked at the ash tray and i never use this as the window is so much better. so i took it out and cut the tray and placed the gauge in. also i can close the lid if i dont want it on display. all i needed to do was run the hose in which was easier than i thought. and wire it up, youve got the cd player wires to tap into so even easier.

i will get pics up soon

just 1 question what sort of psi are you looking to get from a remaped on a AUM with a forge dv and JR cone filter and a cat bach exhaust.   

cheers

What worries me,is that you'll be looking into your ashtray to see what your boosting :shocked:

It should be in the line of sight imo,anything else is just plain dangerous.

+1 I ordered a boost gauge today and ill mount it on the A-pillar, if I can stomach paying more than the gauge for the mount.
