Boost Gauge in Vent Question

Fearsys · 06-26-2008, 06:23 AM

How many people have done this? I was quoted $150-$200 to have the boost gauge installed in the driver side vent. I have seen a few pics and think everyone is using a 60mm gauge. Also looks like everyone is using Defi for the install. Where is a good location for the controller?

The controller can go anywhere you desire. Under the steering wheel. in your glove box. in your arm rest. in between your seat and the center console.

As for the Defi Boost Gauge in the Vent. Its a real pimp mounting spot. I would love to use that spot but Im a little intimidated by it.

It's a real easy thing to do...the 60mm gauges fit nicely in the vent. You just need to be careful hacking up the vent. Here is mine...

Do you have pics of the install? I would like to see how you did it.
