baZurk's boost build
My plan was to weld a t3 flange to my manifold and get the new s200sx from Borg but I have decided to run with the Precision for now. Maybe when I build my head I will upgrade the turbo as well.
Here are some pics I took of the gauge install. You cant be too bashful here, you have to really tear things up with the dremel
The first thing you need to do is modify the gauge housing. To keep my gauge face flush with the class, I removed all the plastic with the threads on it all the way down to where the plastic face with the gauge values lays into the housing. Make sure the tab that holds the plastic face and keeps it from rotating is still intact.
Then start removing plastic from the bezel.


The areas marked in red will need a lot of work. Mainly the area that has the metal tab where it screws into the dash. I removed basically all the plastic around it to where it was on the verge of falling out, then reinforced it with some epoxy.
You will need to test fit the gauge a lot and keep removing plastic as you go.

This is going to turn out so sweet.
If I do not have to sell my car for financial reasons this winter. I am hoping not to.
I would like to do a project similar to this.
What have your cost been so far? Where do you think you will end up to complete the project dollar wise?
