Hey, did a quick search couldnt find much to help so....... How the hell do you mount the guages to the a-pillar? Do you drill straight in? or what? Put some sort of wood in the trim? I went to do it on the weekend and to no avail... Ended up screwing the boost guage into the speaker grate, hahah and it fell out at about 65k's on slight boost...I did manage to see i'm running about 4psi WOO hOO Even into the dash, just get a power drill and drill straight in, or is some sort of strong glue or tape the best idea???

i just drilled straight into the a-pillar, with no problems. also i got my boost guage in the middle of the dash, be carefull making the hole there, dont use a drill, cos it'll tear the material. cut the material with a knife first ill get sum pics 4 ya if ya want?

Ive set up heaps of cars for ppl, you can drill into it, just be carefull as there is foam padding behind the vinal/velour and it will get rapped up in the drill bit, just take it easy Look at Kingyvl's avatar, there the two i did in his car!

Hey Turboluke the gauge on your A-pillar looks wild. How did you do that? To me, it looks like a pod..?
