    I was just going to see if anyone could assist me with installing my boost gauge at the next install day?. I heard that it only takes approximately 1 hour to install. I am picking it up this week at SoG with my Suby Bucks.

    Probably on the steering wheel column where it was on my old sedan. Should I mount it somewhere else?. Any ideas would be appreciated....

    Geez, you guys thought I was kidding?

    That's how I mounted mine.

    I had to hire a midget named Ralph to sit back there and read the numbers back to me. At first he was flying all over the trunk, and I got tired of having to take him to the doc for bruised ribs and fractured limbs. Then we got him a harness that velcro's to the trunk floor, and that worked pretty well.

    Now the only problem left is the speech impediment of his... usually it goes like this: I hit the gas, yell "Yo Ralph, what's the boost?" and I get back something like "firteen" and I'm like "Fifteen?!" and he's like "FIRTEEN" and I'm like "FOURTEEN?!" and by the time I figure out what the hell he's telling me I have to shift and the whole thing starts over again.

    So yeah, trunk mounting isn't necessarily the best idea.
