Just a few pics of the "install" I dont have any pics from installing the bung but its pretty straight foward. Pic a location at least 18 inches from the turbo, grab the right size hole saw drill bit, weld it in and route the wires somewhere out of the way.
I decided to place it where the clock was since I only had this one gauge to put in otherwise I might of placed it above the radio instead. I dont need the clock as I have a phone or radio to tell me that.
I bought a square of lexan plastic from home depot and attempted to copy the original screw holes for the clock as best I could.
Once I put the dash back together the silver ring wasnt centered so I had to elongate the holes and also shave the plastic to make the sqaure smaller.
I also spray painted the back of the piece with black primer and left the front facing clear and it gave it a glossy look.
I did this in prep for hopefully a P.I.M.P. one day down the road and also because I like monitoring stuff on the engine. Right now its at 11 a/f at WOT on 15 PSI and around 15 a/f at cruising with 3k. Ive also noticed the car runs rich when its cold at idle around 12 and leans out to 15 at idle after a while.
I dont know how I could actually mess around with the a/f ratio without a pimp. Either way its a good method of keeping and eye on things so my motor doesnt good BOOM down the road.
