Go to page 5 and that will explain your question on the drill bit sizes
The begining of the article addresses Pod Prep and paint.

5/16 = 0.3125"
21/64 = 0.328"
The "r" bit is the proper bit to use, a 21/64 can be substituted, but you must becareful not to break off the tap in the hole. A 5/16 in my opinion is to small to tap with as it is to easy to damage the threads or break the tap. Get the proper "r" bit as recommended by the Tap size and it makes things much easier.

Kinda on the same subject! Does anyone make an electrical boost gauge, one that you just plug in to wiring harness somewhere? Much like the Edge display does.
All I can seem to find is the drill and tap type with the vacuum hose route.

Thanks blackhat, but I was thinking more on the lines of a stand alone 2" gauges. Already have pyro, was wanting to add a boost gauge. Just thought maybe someone made an electrical one.
