What The Hell Is That? Or Was?

hi guys

bit curious when i had my boost gauge fitted before i picked up the car (r33 GTST) i noticed that instead of running the vacuum hose up the pillar they decided to punch a nice hole through my firewall but what i was concerned about they have obviously used a drill but didn't know they destroyed something while making the hole. when i brought it up they said not to worry and it wont change anything, but surly it was there for a reason. its a small black box about 3cm by 5cm behind the right wheel arch in the engine bay, next to the steering collum. does it really mean bad things or not to worry?? and for the record "What is it"?

F**k that's dodgy. From memory the black box is for the standard boost gauge in the dash. Is that still working?

um itt doesnt go to the + side always in - but it moves

does it affect th performance in any way or does it just get a bad reading?

that's what the first mate said after the titanic hit the iceberg ^^^

Are the terminals intact? Nothing displaced?

I'd source another unit > ask them to pay for it incl instal (if they want to keep your business - which I'd be most averse to do).

BTW, this stuff always happens to people with your User Name

gee i wasn't aware that this thread would catch the attention of the Titanic fan club, but assuming that i have a boost gauge it doesn't matter that the stock one is damaged?

[PM-R33]

No it doesn't matter.

[Luthor666]

im having boost troubles now but that is being fixed next week, the gauge seems alright
