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.




SkinnyE Grinding the stock metal plate to fit the gauge


Test fitting the gauge in bezel



Putting it back together


then came the wiring


Test fit in the car


And the final product



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.

 

i like the stock one better

 

you get the prize for effort.

 

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

 

so does it work?

 

you ------- loser.....fix the accord

 

^ lol

How does she run?

 

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.

 

I think your next install should be a cd player, all im seeing is a radio.

 

I do have an extra deck sitting on my tool box, I proubally should put it in there, I was also gonna get an fm transmitter for my mp3 player.
