i really like the location of the stock boost gauge, i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a problem putting an aftermarket gauge in there i just wanted to make sure.

It's a bitch to remove all of that. Just use the apillar.

I'd personally use the pillar too (if I had a VR-4:()

Pillar gauges usually let people know you're running boost too. (If they don't know a VR-4/TT is boosted already)

I'm a very simple kinda guy when it comes to cars. I might try nd get them in the stock locations, i was looking at the dual gauges from 3SX, i really like that site and thos gauges, you guys seen em? you gotta admit that that pic with the 3 dual gauges in the stock location letting you see 6 diffrent gauges is hot.

If you pull one you have to pull all three. They are connected to one printed circuit board.

It is possible to do it without pulling the dash.

thxs, i'll replace all 3 with the dual gauges...once i get some money...first my brakes, nd maybe struts, i'm not sure y but i have a really stiff ride nd my ECS light is blinking 'sport'. i don't know what the guy before me did but i do kno he didn't do it right. i also have plans for a BOV, this car needs one bad, nd of course boost controller and timer.

How do i get a picture in my signiture thats not from the web but from my computer? I attached the pic to this post but i don't know what thats gunna do...only one way to find out. its a picture of my car, my baby.

You can't get a picture to be your signature only if it's saved to your hard drive. Very few forum boards let you do that.

Go here -> http://www.imageshack.us

Host the picture, get the appropriate URL for the picture (they will give it to you) and put it in your signature.

Go with a MBC, it's much cheaper.
