Default Installed Omori electric boost gauge with homemade vent mount this weekend:

After having this this for about a year and a half, Scott and I finally got around to installing it. I swiped EricPA's old center vent (thanks Eric!!) and Scott drilled and Dremeled out the opening to fit the 52mm gauge.

Fits perfectly, and I think it looks great. We wired it so it would be illuminated all the time since the dash is always lit up. I wish the white needle on the gauge would be a bit brighter to match better, but really I'm happy with it.

Default Looks good! You might want to put some friction tape on the body of the gauge...

where it meets the vent slats. Mine made a squeaking/creaking noise until I did that.

I have the exact same setup, except that my gauge is in metric rather than english units.

Good call. The slightest squeak would annoy me...so thanks for the tip!

I thought it had the peak hold feature...or is this not the 60mm gauge?

Default The Saint did a nice job! I have one question though...

70 degrees? You have the heater set to 70? Isn't that a bit warm for you? :-)
