    Anyone have one? Firstly, the screws for the mountong bracket seem to slightly rub the back of the wheel when turning. Should I just get different screws with a different profile head? And the right one stripped but not that bad - yet. Could I put some locktight (the weakest) or some RTV or, hell, epoxy?

    Next ?, I'm putting in a boost gauge and AFR. The SC has a port for a gauge but is a different diameter than the gauges tube so I cobbled together different fittings and the gauge works but the "T" (for just tapping into an existing line but I don't which one) that came with the gauge has a restrictive orifice. The limited instructions specifically mention this orifice. Will it damage anything to run without this orifice?

    Thirdly, the allenhead bolt that holds the gauge pod on seems to bottom out leaving the gauge and pod loose. Should I just put a couple of washers or maybe grind off some threads (would rather not)?

    Anyone had anyof these issues or sm I doing somethin wrong? I just ripped out the entire inter and replaced the WHOLE soud system (including sub box) why is this stupid gauge pod giving me trouble?

    Serious answers only please, I know this a dumb ?

    Thanks guys!

    I have one waiting to be installed when I have time. I'd ask on the supercharged post in the performance section.
