Are you going to pillar mount the gauge head? I could not find a decent pillar pod set for the XF - so I purchased a universal pod for my boost gauge.
One thing I found interesting after installing the boost gauge - when I am (normal street legal) city driving, the SC clutch never engages and I am pulling air thru the SC screws and registering vacuum VS Boost.
Keep up the good work!!
Thanks Brian, I mounted the gauge pod in the only hole in the padded part of the knee bolster, right below the ignition switch. So I didn't drill any holes, it took a 3" #12 machine screw to reach all the way thru and I just removed the clip that the OEM screw went in. I'm also mounting a small LED on the gauge pod that will tell me when the fans are on, but they are loud enough I should be able to hear them
