Default On a scale of 1-5 how hard is a boost guage install

awe venter vent guage.
For reference the most difficult mod I've done is Suspension, shocks and springs, with help.
From the tech section it doesn't look too tough but I worry about cutting something or messing it up somehow

Default easier than suspension

I did mine in about 2 hours knowing nothing and taking my time. Just give yourself more time than you thin you need so you never have to rush.

AWE did an awesome job w/directions. the only hard part is cutting the hole behind the center vent.

Default no problem, just to clarify

I don't have the AWE one, it's a homemdae, but install should be simllar. Mine is a mechanical gauge. If your car has light up vent dials, you can tap for light power from there. That way the gauge lights up with your lights. DOn't tap for electrical power for an electric gauge there.

Default 2/3

If I can do it, than it must be simple. And I installed my boost gauge with ease.
