Anthony, thanks! That is an awesome photo!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! If it wasn't for everyone here..... Well i don't even want to contemplate that idea... Who knows, my car would probably still be stock... :shock:

Hey jack, love the work you've done to your car. You've been quite busy! I got the gauge from here: http://www.gtboostgauge.com/

There's a thread on legacygt which is how i discovered it. I like keeping the look clean without stuff sticking out where it's not supposed to be, so i was quite impressed when i saw that!

The thread is here if you want to read on the progress and stuff: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.p ... oost+gauge

Thanks again everyone!

*Updated first post with the exhaust change. Removed the resonator and threw in a straight through muffler. Took out the last little bit of drone that was in the car, quietened it down a little bit and still has the winning note.

Jack - The gauge was very easy to install but i believe he is having some sort of issue with them and that's why it's not available atm.
