would be interested to hear about how to fit a boost gauge and the best route for the pipes.... can you get one where all you have to do is fit electrical wires through the bulkhead?

best way to route the pipes if through the grommet where the bonnet latch will come through on LHD cars, plenty of room to play with

here are pics of my boost gauge, pics dont do its justice, you'd really need to see it to see where the angle of it is...

looks well smart, was it just a case of buying the pod and fibreglassing it to the dash?
