Default SkinnyE Shadow boost gauge install

Well skinnyE, aka Elijah just got his turbo dodge shadow about 1 month ago. He wanted to put a better boost gauge in it since he got it since this was his stock one



not knowing exactly how accurate this thing is, and not to mention how hideous it is. we replaced it with this



First we removed the stock gauge bezel and gauge, and took it all apart.

This was a fun little project to do. Overall it didn't turn as clean I would have liked but it still turned out great. skinnye likes it too.

Did you call your insurance company and tell them you put a gauge worth as much as the car in it?

intercooler is going in next, probually end of this week, when you get here, although you told everyone else I know you were coming but me. Its ok I forgive you, who knows if the accord will ever run again. I need another engine.

The gauge does work, used the oem vaccum line and wires for lighting. That stock gauge sucked, I replaced it for a reason.
