Installed gauge in vent without roush pod
Just finished installing a boost gauge in my vent using just 6 screws and some electrical tape. Got the idea from a mustang forum but that person made the pod out of 2" PVC. I saw no use for the PVC and didn't want to restrict any more airflow than necessary. I just used some 8-1/2" screws and built up the gage with electrical tape. It is surprisingly solid.

They have been painted black just didn't take a new picture. They are not noticeable. Daughters black fingernail polish. Realize these photos were taken with a flash too. In natural light they are even less noticeable.
I did this knowing it can all be undone and put back to factory or buy the $35 roush pod. Now that it is finished, I am keeping my $35 and have a full $0.50 invested.

Zixxer10r ... I don't suppose there is a more elegant way to secure the pod in the center of the hole is there? Those screws look a little homegrown, which is something that I personally would want to stray away from if I install a boost/vacuum gauge.

jejeosborne That is a good idea. Probably will not take the time to do that now though.
BTW ... on your co$t effective innovation.
