Default Boost gauge pod

My S2 has the coinholder thing instead of a fuel computer. what im looking at doing is getting a boost gauge fitted in that area, but i want it so it could slot in & out say for when i come to sell it and want to put it back to standard.

so, does anyone know a company that could make a pod to fit in that area?.

and are boost gauges easy it fit?

pm Twins, he made me a replacement dash surround that has a 52mm hole for a boost gauge where the coin holder goes. will be easy to swap back when you come to sell.

2 screws in the top then it just slides out from the bottom.

its easier to take the steering column shroud off first, not vital, just easier!

boost gauge is really easy to install too, get a piece of hose and t-piece it into the top of the plenum (right hand side) then into the back of the gauge.

then the wiring of the gauge, live, ignition, earth etc.
