I have to admit I was thinking the same thing....Ohio, you are one badass looking mofo. If anybody says the boxster is a chick car I will just show them your pic and that should squash any issues lol. Anyway back to the install this is good info. What kind of boost are you expecting to get out of this thing? Are you going to throw it on a dyno when it's done?

Its supposed to be only like 4.5 lbs of boost which is ok for me. My plan is to take it to the dyno to make sure my air/fuel is correct. The Diesel comments cracked me up, I try to stay in half way decent shape. The Boxster is no chick car,lol.

Heres the gauge, it came today. Now to find a mounting location. This will match my silver face gauge cluster. Yes, my head is shiny, just polished.

Boost gauge install

This is where I would like to install the boost gauge but I started to think long term. If I sell the car with no blower then I have a hole in the dash, you never know.


This is where I tee'd into the vacuum line, zip tied in a few spots to keep it from moving around.



I ran the vacuum line under the center console and zip tied it to existing wires.


This is where I ended up putting it.



Gauge functioning at idle, still need to wire light had to break for some chow.

No, still seven more days until I really get into it. I had to buy a 24 mm wrench and new low profile floor jack. Pretty soon, so keep checking back.
