I just bought an autometer boost gauge. I already have a stock boost gauge. I was wondering if i could just take the stock boost gauge out and fit my 2 1/16" into the stock housing and use the stock hose and wires. Has this been done before? This way seems too easy to be done...

 

also, if i was to just swapp them, how do i get the stock boost gauge out of the rubber cover? I cant seem to get it loose.

 

If you're talkin about the stock gauge pod that goes on the steering column, it'll only fit a 45mm gauge which is less than 2 inches. To get the stock gauge out of the pod, simply pry it out with a screwdriver carefully and evenly around until you can grab it and pull it out the rest of the way with your hands. Carefull not to damage the rubber pod.

 

thanks. I purchased a pod that Autometer makes and it fit perfectly where my stock gauge was located. Thanks anyways.

p.s.-yes it was a b*tch to get the gauge it self out of the pod.
