Quick one on how I did it;

Cut out a peice of thick plywood to size, prepped it, painted it matte black and then glued the shithouse out of it on the back, but the gauges can still pop out if need be. (the whole unit will be resprayed next week). Cut the holes to size, popped in the gauges and off I went.

The reason you need the ply is because the gauges are too small for the hole in the stock gauge pod..in fact the stock gauge pod is not circular, slightly oval shaped. But you cannot see any gap at all around the gauges, but I painted the ply black just in case.

To install the turbo timer, all i did was pop out the two existing switches which were located there. (fog lights and a blank), and cut out the middle between the two with a knife then sanded the edges smooth, the greddy full auto timer is a direct fit in there, i didnt need to brace it in the back or anything as its a really tight fit.

hey nice job on the turbotimer mate, I was looking at doing the same thing with my boost controller which is pretty much the same size to the turbo timer. Was there much room behind your timer when you put it in? And did you just stick the fog light switch on the blank switch panel on the left of the steering wheel?

Hey,

Sooo much room behind the timer, and i just ditched the fog light switch as i removed the fog lights all together too.
