My new Evo and boost guage pics

Picked her up about three weeks ago from Norco Mitsubishi. First mod was dark tint all the way around, then air filter and boost guage. Waxed the car last week, but it's really dirty now... better pics to come later.





The boost guage is Autometer, along with the mount. Drilled holes and mounted guage on steering column. power is hooked into the ignition power, I couldn't figure out the headlight power without a diagram. the pressure tubing going to the vacuum line in the engine bay was covered with vacuum hose to prevent any heat damage.

The filter is just a Spectre filter for now. I was hesitant on purchasing it, but quite a few people on here have done it with no problems. It's temporary until Buschur comes out with a full intake kit with MAF pipe. Also got my Buschur boost controller on order

You think that the drop in is better than the AMS intake? AMS doesn't show HP gains on the intake with out a MBC.

Hell no. There is no way I am putting a gauge that covers the reading of another gauge. As long as there is place in the left side of the dash board I would rather puit it on the dashboard.

I am not trying to critizise it, I like the gauge but the location is in my opinion less than ideal.
