    Hey guys, My turbo should be going in as early as august and definately by september. I need info on how exactly to mount the boost gauge in the driver side circular air vent. I cant find a page with instructions anywhere. I ordered the autometer boost gauge today and would like to mount it upon arrival. Thanks for your help guys.

    ya, but i wonder if i need to block off the air vent, I'm not going to want any air traveling through to hit the back of the gauge.,maybe cut off the vent and cap it off or something like that.

    you will need to block off the vent heat and gauges dont mix i would just take it off under the dash and duct tape that side shut duct tape should be able to stand the heat

    you do NOT want any hot or cold air going anywhere near the line or the gauge...mainly due to heat expansion etc...which could make your boost gauge become inaccurate
