My understanding is that the stock guage is actually reading boost and vaccumn(not sure). When the car is idling or when you are just cruising at a normal rate of speed-the stock guage is reading vaccumn. When you get on the gas, the turbo spools up thus creating pressure(boost)this is when the needle hits yellow and into red. Am i right? Don't know realy how this works. So on the guage i bought which reads both vaccumn and boost, I'm speculating that i can just T into the vaccumn line that runs to the stock fitting in back of the instrument panel and read both vaccumn and boost just like the stock guage. Am I right? or am i way off base.
In reguard to the question about how i mounted the guage on the pillar-my guage is 2&5\8". The auotmeter cup-part #5202 comes with a cup and small bracket that you can drill holes into the pillar and mount-works great.I think they make this same bracket for different size guages. This is not a plastic form fitting guage holder that you see on some cars that conforms to the pillar itself.
