Anyone done their own boost gauge install in center vent?
#12
I used the cardboard the gauge was in the packaging as the template..
then I cut the fins with the dremel making sure I cut inside the hole and not going to big..
then I used a sanding drum that fits in a drill (drill press would be better)
You can get one that is slightly smaller than the guage and use that to make a nice uniform hole that is even and has the right contour on the fins to meet flush against the gauge housing.
The guage it's self has a metal bracket on the back that pushes against the fins and screws down against the back of the guage.

then got a 60mm mechanical gauge, but didn't like it, so i switched to a 60mm electric gauge

the gauge face didn't cover the entire gauge...
so there was a ring of light between the edges. real annoying. i could have swore i had pictures online back in the day, but can't seem to find them anymore. i discussed the problem with Omori in Japan and they sent me an electrical gauge as a replacement.
i liked the electrical gauge much more if for no other reason than the 'hold/warning' feature.
