Subi part in an Evo WhAt!?!?!?

I wanted to run a 45mm boost gauge and I already have my cluster port ready for my wideband so I decided to do this. I bought a subi column pod and used it in the evo. It fit perfect simple two holes and it was mounted. I used a Omori 45mm gauge and with very minimal grinding to the gauge pod it fit right in. Sorry for the crappy pics there from my phone. The gauge pod isnt fadded like it looks in the pics. It matches the cover. Stupid flash. Let me know what ya think.

Hmm, you should've put the mr gauge package on your radio's din, then replace your stock boost gauge with the Omori. I'll try to get a picture of my setup with a 40mm VMR boost gauge. Looks soo stock! haha

Yeah, I was surprised to see it was rubber. I just used a dremel with a sanding bit on it and it shaved it enough so the gauge fit.

Yeah, not a big fan of the stock one but I dont feel like moving the radio down there either. Might take them out and put the cubby hole in there.

Looks really good. I hate the ones that block the "cell light" specially when at WOT checking for knock.
