I'm not so sure i'm doing anything different. I did notice two things: one - some of the vent louvers tend to sneak out and sometimes get in the way of the front piece of the vent, but when this is the case the clips do not fully engage, and is noticeable.
Look at the pics on this page:

two - do you think it is a lighting thing, I noticed I took pictures with the flash and illuminated the small overhang at the top. It's hard for me to tell, but As long as the four main clips fully engage upon vent assembly I think it must be sitting flush against the front.

Normally in most cases the gap I have would not bother me, but the way its seated makes it lean back and harder to read than it would if it were flush. I think I'll just have to take it apart and try again.

I currently have the AEM UEGO for my AFR Gauge. To upgrade to the VBG1 and use it to read AFR I would still need the AEM gauge itself since it acts as the controller? Or is there a way I can eliminate the AEM all together?

VBG1 is compatible with the following afr monitoring systems:
Innovate Motorsports LC-1,
AEM 30-4100 UEGO
Zeitronix Zt-2 or Zt-3
PLX SM-AFR
The PLX, LC-1 and Zeitronix offer stand alone operation. Since the control electronics is built into the UEGO 30-4100 - stand alone operation is not an option.
I hope to upgrade the firmware soon to the VBG1 to allow further compatibility with UEGO gauges and afr monitoring systems.
Currently the AEM 30-4100 UEGO has the same analog output AFR/voltage ratios as the LC-1. That is the reason only this UEGO AFR system is compatible thus far.

Are you planning on making one that'll fit EVO 8/9 as well? I posted it in the other thread as well. Very interested in this as I like the stealth install of this.
If you need beta testers for EVO 9, sign me up, ready to buy and try this out!

Still thinking about making this fitment of the VBG1 for the evo 8/9 generation.
I'm wondering how hard it will be for you guys to install in the center vent, is that hard to remove?

Interested in this, and only about 30 min away from Arlington. Still looking for beta testers / guinea pigs? I did some preliminary testing on a similar unit in the 3000GT VR4 community and provided some feedback that later became features.
I'd love to get rid of the steering column boost gauge, and turbo timer (for voltage readout) - both were installed on the car when I got it, and I don't care for them at all......
Let me know, thanks!
