You're getting antsy? My car has been taken apart for the past 6 months. Robert has taken WAY too long to get me my parts. I'm still waiting for him to send me the fuel pump and pressure regulator, that I paid for close to 6 months ago. It'll be worth it when it's done, but I'm wishing now that I had spent some extra $$ and bought the parts form someone else.

It is VERY easy to add the boost gauge there. Take off the center console and remove the clock. The hole where the clock was needs to be expanded a little bit. Take a dremel, pick whichever cutting tool you want, and grind out the hole in the console a little bit at a time until the boost gauge fits into it. Then I cut off the wiring clip from the clock and attached those wires to the light on the boost gauge. To attatch the gauge to the console, I just used a bunch of hot-glue on the back-side of the console, it seems like it's attached on there plenty good. To get the vacuume line there, I used a small hole in the very back of the passenger's footwell. It is covered up slightly by the carpet, and has a rubber plug in it. Then just put the console back on just like you normally would. It you wan't any other pictures just tell me what exactly you want the picture of. I can take them tomorrow, but my car isn't in my garage tonight and my camera takes very shitty pics in the dark.
