boost gauge mounting advice


Recommended Posts

well i just installed my turbosmart boost controller thingy and an autometer gauge in my hilux surf. now runnina nice 13PSI ;)

now, i cant work out a good way to mount it without paying $60 for a pod holder thingy.. does anyone have any suggestions on a easy cheap way to mount it?

thanks dave.

p.s - look at the damn work involved. took ages pulling half the engine apart so i could drill into it and taper.

well i have found the up take alot smoother, almost as if the gears are a bit longer.. i have no idea why.

but what i noticed is i got my dad to take it for a fang and he floored it up the street and it looks alot faster.

at the moment its running a 3l head on it and i am told that once i have done a few more mods the fact that its got that head on it will make a big difference.

next up is a massive custom cold air intake (moving from left hand side of engine to right to stop the intake being taken over the engine before it reaches the turbo) and then a top mount intercooler using a standard r33 unit..

i will keep u posted on how it goes after that.
