Default AWE Center Vent Boost Gauge

Does anyone have a side profile picture of this gauge pod. I want to see how much the gauge sticks out from the vent. Planning to order either tonight or tomorrow but want to see a pic first.

Thanks

Default Nothing yet? Hopefully the morning crowd has some input. I noticed

when I was looking through the archives that the design of the vent has changed from when it was supplied with the Blitz gauge. Seems that the Blitz gauge was actually recessed into the vent to make it look flush with the vent flaps. The Omori looks like it's just mounted on top of the flaps which makes it stick out a little more. Is this correct. I think I like the old style better.

Default No pics, but here are the specs...

I'm assuming this is for the 45mm gauge.<ul><li><a href="http://www.omorimeter.co.jp/catalog-7.html">http://www.omorimeter.co.jp/catalog-7.html</a></li></ul>

Default Even better...and about 1/3 rd the price...

Default the actual pod design did not really change...

save for the opmori guage being 45mm vs 43mm! the bezel on the omori is just a little thinner and longer than the blitz!
