Podi VEI Boost Gauge Installed.

[yayjohnny]

Well, after waiting 2 weeks for my Podi VEI Boost Gauge to arrive, it finally came in the mail today.
The little john boy in me got way excited and took out the tools for the install.
Boy was I in for a treat [:/]

The way I installed it was to hook up the vacuum hose through the bolster, through the wheel, and into the engine bay as directed in the Podi Installation page
I literally spent 5 hours installing it. Was clueless of how things worked at first, so I guess it was the process of learning the concept and how it worked and installing it.
I personally thought the installation DIYs was very confusing.

But here are the results:
LMK what you think

Yeah, I noticed I am boosting low .. :(
Maybe I have a leak somewhere.

That's a good place to start.

Look for the thread about boost leak, its a PITA to fix.

I like the mount of it, looks pretty good.I got my VMR vent boost gauge installed last week and unfortunatley it's buzzing... i order the antibuzz fittings, and we'll see how that goes. About the boost levels, I get a boost spike around 20psi on 4th gear then hold around 15-17 psi. I have Revo stg II with HFC

At first I was skeptical about the offset mount. But I LOVE IT in person. It looks so clean and flows very very well with the interior

Yes.

VMR should of came with a filter of some sort. Mine did at least and I get no buzzing.

Yea, electronic gauges dont buzz, its only the mechanical gauges, like vmr and awe. I just installed the filter from podi, but i still get buzz from 15 psi and up. I will install the second one today.
