ok
center vents are out
very easy to take this out
i put a piece of tape on the end of a screwdriver as to not mess up anything
and just pried caqrefully on both sides ..time to take it out 13 seconds maybe even faster
then just disconnect the clock and hazard button and thats it
now how im going to do this ....
any help from CL members would be great
i have the pics of what i want to do already
3 gauges across ........and a wideband
thats it

Actually, that's a very similar idea Luxury Motorworks had in mind when they wanted to do my setup. We were going to use 3 gauges in the vent area and make slots for the air to still come out. However, my buddy who did my audio setup thought it wouldn't be wise to lose my vents due to the hot Cali weather so I had him create my own custom gauge pod in the cup holders angled towards me.

ok so im on the right track
any other insight into this
just trying to make this happen
i might have to switch gauges now because Blitz ..i think... the BLM series ..doesnt have a Trans Temp
so i want ..boost..oil pressure ..and trans temp
thoughts

that figures! See, if you would have finished your project while I was working on mine, I would have done it that way. But I was to chicken to lose any cooling coming from the center vents. Now at least TLW knows it works and can do it...
Johnny, I still think you need a fuel pressure gauge. Again,this is only if you plan on playing with different pulley setups for more boost. If your wide band displays lean #'s under WOT, you are going to need to find out if your fuel pressure is dropping under full boost or if you need a secondary fuel pump or larger fuel pump to keep the fuel flowing. As you already know, running to lean for too long = Boom. Just my opinion.

That looks much better. You can always put the tranny cooler in another location.

Johnny,
Thank you for your inquiry. I have been told that the gauge pod will not fit American cars but I am investigating this matter. I will get back to you in a few days.
Thanks,
