Vac/Boost gauge in 99-02 cluster
#16
I ended up buying the same gauge (except to 20psi only) and will be doing this myself. Got any extra tips/tricks?
What is the thread size of the male brass piece coming out of the back of the gauge? The one that looks like it has a silver nut on it.

How did you guys do this without breaking the lens? Mine is glued in place and I broke it trying to get it off. Now I can't find replacement lenses for the cluster. The only sell them with the trim piece which means I can't get the gauge in there...

The lens is completely glued on. You need to heat it up with a heat gun and then slide a thin knife to separate the lens. I then put it back together with clear silicone.
I'm actually re-doing mine this weekend. I'm adding different needles for the gauges and blue LEDs as well as a blue LED for the boost gauge. It's going to look badass IMO.
