Looks nice, great idea,

That looks really good mate.

Does the panel turn up and down like the vents or is it fixed in place?

Looks excellent, but is it exposed to heat at the rear. Just a thought, as I use those vents a lot during the early morning winter time.

just close the vent, the open/close control is still there
i closed and sealed mine when i fitted a wideband afr in the same location,

Thanks for the comments, I didnt make it so it could swivel, i thought the weight of the gauge may just pull it down when going over bumps. The vent can still be closed and there are options for how it will fit/look.
the boost gauge is really easy to install from there with no visible wires, i just drilled 2 holes inside the vent housing for the electrics and hose. I have sunk the face of the gauge into the pod to account for the curve, i like the rim of the gauge not to stick out too far so I'm well chuffed with it.
Carsten do you have pics of your wideband install?
thanks

in my gallery(garage) there is one.
i just used a clamp and took out the vent.
been meaning to tidy it up with a back ground filler panel.
