Well I finally got around to taking pics of my boost guage, I think I put it in a pretty creative spot and I havent seen any one else do this before so I thought Id share the pics. This wouldnt work for some of you for some pretty ovbious reasons, but if others are interested I think I took enough pics to make a decent DIY.

Close up
Overview
One more


I really like how it turned out! Let me know what you think fing02.gif

that is PYYIIIIIMMMPPP! I'd do both and move the defrost, fogs to like some switch somewhere else. Cuz that looks stock.

Please DIY. I have RD1, but I don't care. I want to see the pics and explanation. I can pretty much figure it out though.

haha thanks for the quick comments guys! it was a little harder than it seems though... well I guess time consuming is a better description haha. Im diggin through my pics to see how I could do a diy. I might do it tomorrow if more people are interested cool.gif


EDIT- sorry alex, you posted right before I did. The tib is actually "under the knife" right now. The whole front is off and prepped for the fmic, the fmu is in, the fuel pump is in, the fans are off/moved and ummmm.... I think that might be as far as we got. I dont really remember haha

It does look great.

How easy is it to see it while driving?

I want to do this:

good location. Does the steering wheel get in the way of vision at all?
