I know a 52 mm one will fit. Thinking about the Omori one from AWE and doing the home made vent gauge (Dremel) modification. Any pictures would be appreciated.

Default Absolutely awesome, thanks for the picture...

I just wanted to know if it was possible for a 60 mm and it looks good.

<center><img src="http://audi.thefarnys.com/images/BoostGauge/VentGauge2.jpg"></center><p>Audimods hooked it up for me, but I will say this: I think the gauge is just a tiny bit too big as I need to reapply friction tape to it every couple months or so so that it doesn't slide forward. But, I really prefer that look to the AWE style vents..More pics on my website.<ul><li><a href="http://audi.thefarnys.com/images/gallery1.htm">clik, click</a></li></ul>

What material did you use to put the gauge in?

Basically, friction tape is wrapped around the gauge itself, allowing it to easily pull in and out if you want to replace the original vent at anytime. It's pretty sturdy in there, but again - I have to reapply every few months or so.

As for how the gauge is attached to the plexiglass - you'll have to ask Audimods.
