Very clever. Gorgeous work.

Thank you sir!

Thanks for posting this thread! It actually makes for a pretty simple install. I knew I didn't want gauges on the A-pillar but I never would have had the courage to do this to my brand new car without having seen this write-up with photos. Well done sir.

This is cool.

I like this idea.

How much with you charge me to make one for me? lol

Thanks for taking the time to share this idea- brilliant!

KaBoom1701 · 12-07-2015, 10:01 AM

I'm going to save this in my favorites for a future "mod to do".

Now that is sweet!

I bought the vent cup kit from that Mustang shop but haven't installed it yet lol

Hey cdjnight quick question or anyone running this gauge where did you connect the blue ground output wire to? I'm about to install this gauge and just trying to see whats best to run that to.

Cool AirZ28 · 04-04-2017, 08:53 PM

I bought the vent cup. I'm going to see if I can make this work for a 60 mm boost controller.

mmaattppllaayy · 01-10-2018, 10:43 AM

I have designed and will be 3D printing two of the vent adapters today. I designed one that had a 60mm ID and one with a 52mm ID. The 60mm will be used with an Eboost 2 and the 52mm is for standard gauges. My version requires that you use a dremel and grind out the top ledge on the inside of the vent. The ledge that has the ridges on it. Once I have it 3D printed I will post a picture and you will see why you need to grind down the ledge. Other than grinding that one area this will be a drop in setup.

Picture added. You can see the difference in internal diameters.
