Long story short. Buy an autometer boost gauge on the weekend from autobarn springwood. Now i thought i could have got a cheaper brand from the internet but i thought no i will support a bricks and motar store. Install it mounting it in the autometer cup i purchased at the same time. Nowhere...

Not sure of the part number as i got it through Nizzbits and the invoice just says gasket kit. In the kit you get; 3 piece steel exhaust flange gasket 2 off steel banjo oil feed washer gasket things 2 off paper oil return gaskets paper intake gasket steel dump pipe gasket I didn't touch the...
