Will an aftermarket Boost gauge fit in the stock MR location?
The stock MR boost gauge only goes to 1.5 which is about 21 psi so I was thinking of replacing it with a gauge that has a greater range in its place. Will an aftermarket gauge (autometer) fit in the same hole?

It's 45mm or 1 3/4 ". Oromi makes a 45mm gauge which fits & reads to 30psi

it doesn't fit 100%

you'll have to dremel out the bezel slightly as the stock gauge is about 42-43mm

True it looks like this.






only 30 psi, but more than I plan on seeing.

Same color as stock cluster just brighter.

It does look nice, but I find the usefulness of an electronic gauge to be limited due to the response lag. I guess it depends on what you use it for.

I'd use the digital. It's easier to read at 140 mph

This is a pretty dumb statement IMO. Who cares what the boost gauge says when youre going 140mph? At that speed I would hope you were looking straight ahead and not down at a stupid gauge.
