I say just bolt it to the hood.
Real easy to hook up then.

Thought about it, but too far out of the way to look...
Could work, but it's just a little too wide to sit down in that indention. I'd have to modify it a little (not a problem).
I can also get the angled gauge cups for it for $10 so they would be facing towads me.
Good point! Plus when I set it up there I can't see them if my hand is at the top of the wheel.
See, the guy I bought them from suggested that. But I'm afraid they get moisture inside and fog up.
They've never been used, he has a 2002 7.3 and has a programmer with the built in gauges and such. So I got over $200 worth of gauges/pod for $75.

Question, anyone have a picture of where your boost gauge tubing mates with the Map tube?
I ordered a tubing kit but not sure if there's anything else I'll need to buy for it. I just need to see what setup you have for the "T".

Looking at my boost tubing kit I ordered, I don't think it comes with the T fitting. Where can I get one? I found a all brass one for $14 that's supposed to fit the 94-97 7.3 and duramax. That seems a little high priced though, anyone know somewhere else I can get one?
And I'm debating wether to get the angled gauge cups and mount it over the radio, or buy a pillar pod for those two gauges...
Anyone wanna buy the pod I have?

Advanced auto has one. I think lowes may even. They are plastic but it works. Just get a barb fitting for the compression fitting and a short piece of 1/4 inch air hose and hose clamps. Put the short piece of hose between the tee and the compression fitting and your ready to go.
PM me about the pod if you dont want it.
