Talking Re: boost gauge installed
I did this also where I could get to it because I connect it to the dyno machine to track the boost during the run. Iam for function and looks are secondary, I drive with the hood shut anyway.

My comment is; to use a vacuum cleaner to suck the chips away from hole during the tapping and drilling operation. You can keep tramp metal from getting into the valves and cyclinder, a good thing.

My tap point is chosen for access. I measure the boost pressure at the intake manifold AND also can insert a low mass thermal probe to track the inlet air temperature at the intake manifold. I have been studying this area and hope to reduce these temperatures even more next summer.



WOODY ENJOY
