it's not hard to fit, fill it up with fiberglass and use some filler to make it smooth.



and then make it big enough to fit the gauges.

I just went for the lockwood dials and fuel computer but might get a boost guage fitted in the near future as I've had it chipped.

Thanks

The Blitz controller was added later after we binned the Greddy. Now going down another route with boost control, so as soon as I can be bothered to remove the Blitz it will be up for sale. I'll probably end up putting the Greddy back in just to fill the hole.
