First "mod" for my Evo

I got a steering wheel mount and autometer boost gauge today and hooked it up. Nothing special but I'm a little excited to finally have something in there. TB Exhaust next week!




Got the ACD set to gravel..its raining outside!

Thought you were suppose to get a MBC first...............j/k.

Great first mod. Autometer gauge is questionable from what I've read on here. What does your boost go up to when you go WOT?

WOT 16-18psi 1st gear then 2-5th spikes to 21psi then holds at 19psi.

Autometer is not bad, I would love to have defi gauges but screw spending 200 a gauge. I'm not on balla status yet... I had autometer carbon gauges in my 99 eclipse GSX and I never had proplem with them. I got the silver style gauge just beacuse its easier for me to see since it stands out.

[EDIT]
The bottom pic I took with my cell phone while driving couldn't exactly get the best pic. haha Verizon chocolate FTW!

Doing some gravel racing? I noticed it looks like you have gravel selected rather than tarmac for the handling.

I got it like that. single gauge steering wheel mount from extremepsi.com Looks great and requires no modification or drilling to instal. I've got several good coments from people at work saying they like how it looks like OEM. The gauge and mount was only $89 shipped. This was seriously easier and best of all cleaner to do than an oil change.
