i would put it in the left one. just cause the left side looks a little warped and it would hide it better

good work dude!

I don't have that much patience, my install took less than an hours and I had never installed a boost guage before...lol

I jost dolted it to the column and called it a day....

Plus i had some surprises.Some good ones and some bad.

The bad:

I found a vaccum leak while installing the gauge. Its fixed now. And at idle the gauge is at 20 inHg.

The good:

I think im chipped. I took it for a test drive to check the gauge. And i peak at 17psi in 2nd and 15psi in 3rd.

Let me know what you think.

looks nice!

i actually have the same gauge, have you had any problems with the needle sticking?

mine sticks around 5psi then i tap it and it almost frees it and it spikes ~16..

think im gonna try and get them to replace it
