the cup mount gauge install on my a-pillar worked great, but i wanted a bit more stealth, so i painted the autometer rim black, dremeled the light switch hole and threw it in the dash...i like the look, fits right in and almost looks stock...(sorta)...only bad thing is that i lost the light switch...it's sitting in behind the dash... i never used it anyway...thoughts?

Looks nice. How is visibility?

i definitely lost some visibility..especially when gripping the wheel at 10 and 2..for the most part though...it's not bad...was a trade off...

have an update also, forgot to mention..hit 18psi on my stg 2 yesterday!..i guess i finally got that adaptation completed.....just didn't happen before around 5200rpm..i can get 15psi quick!...but continues pushing through and gets to around 18 in the upper rpms....impressed with how i hold boost near redline now...(unlike the mbc)...

thanks!

Looks good there . Are you going to leave the light swtich inside the dash or work it out down below for some kind of access?

I like it!.. good spot.. I fitted mine on the A Piller at the weekend.. cos my 9K has switchable lights.. but what you've done would work on my 9-3 since it has daylight running lights (that can't be turned off)... excellent work!

Must get a dremel tool....

Nice ! Seen that done on a few 900/9-3:s before and I like it. Like you said it looks almost stock and is a bit more stealth =)

If you want day running lights on your 9000, I believe it's only a matter of fitting a fuse.

I HAVE FITTED A BOOST GUAGE IN MY SAAB 95 MY99.
I USED A MOBILE TELEPHONE POD AVAILABLE FROM SAAB WHICH FITS NICELY AND DOED NOT LOOK OUT OF PLACE. I WOULD SHOW A PHOTO BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO. COULD ANY ONE HELP ME TO POST PHOTOS.

To post a picture just click on the "image" button next to the smileys when you post your reply (or start a new thread)..Then just type in the adress where the pic is located ( it has to be in the internet) !

Looks really sweet, eric! Great job!

Very cool. It has convinced me that mine would look better there than on a shelf in my garage. Just have to sort out somewhere to put the headlamp switch though first

Very nice.. Im still determinded to put mine where the clock is! Oh yeah, since I haven't acutally picked up the car yet, how do you go about removing the panel surrounding the clock???

 

[egleigh]

the light switch i can do without...(i might try to relocate, but will most likely just leave it)...i couldn't get rid of the clock though..i really like it..that would a good spot though, maybe better visibility than the light switch...

now if i can just get rid of some of the glare on the face....is there a film that kills glare that could cover the face?...for some reason, the light switch seems to be the perfect place for serious glare...
