Default TTSchwing, question for you...

I see you duplicated the AWE vent insert ring for the Boost gage mount. What diameter is the gage? Do you know of a similar gage (backlit with lighted needle) that would fit, and cost less than AWE wants ($140)?

FWIW the AWE gauge is smaller than 52mm.

Default Misunderstood the question.........(update).....>>

I just took a Vent ring apart, and spec'd out the holder. It will fit a standard a 52m gauge (not 45mm like AWE), and retain some Cooling through the vent. I'll have this inexpensive ($18) solution available in a few weeks....

It will easily mount in a disasembled vent ring and look just like the awe set-up depending on your choice of gauge..

I measured it at about 1 3/4"... Which seems like a very odd size.

Default BTW, most 60mm gauges..>

Will fit right into a vent ring (no cooling slots), but tend to be electronic and a bit on the pricey side (Defi-Kink, Blitz, Apexi)

Default I think this is a great option. I removed my AWE and am thinking of selling it..............

I definitely want to be on the list for the Vent Ring Steve!!!
