Default Boost gauge installed w/pics

Well its done, pretty easy, just slightly time consuming, took about 2 hours...
Looks like im boosting around 17-18psi and spiking around 20-22psi. Vacum is about 20-22 at idle. I think thats all normal. SWWEEEET. No my dash isnt cracked, its a hairy peice of tape hanging on the bottom of the right vent.

I sort of used apr's instructions... I used the power wire from the wire for the vent lights, just spliced into it. Once you have the parts its pretty self explanitory. I did however somehow blow the low beam in my headlights.. I think it happend when i was testing for a ground.. How much are those bulbs anyone?

You are chipped right?

Stock, I am boosting around 6-7PSI. I am pretty sure thats normal. My Vaccuum is sitting where yours is through around 20-22.

No it spikes there... Boost is about 16 or 17 psi.. Ive seen it go to about 20psi just a few times while driving fast.

Where did you get that pod? I installed mine last night with a crappy Apillar pod and this morning in the daylight it doesn't look that great...I need a center vent one.
