Great postman brought me a present today thanks Wayne boost gauge had arrived
Perfect timing as id run out of things to do to truck well down here on the coast
catch can 101 (Small).jpg
Having a good look at the truck i realized there's not rely much space on first generation Bighorn dash, Didn't want to mount it under the dash as i would not be able to see it properly and hit it with my leg most of the time.
Thought id make a box for it to go on of top of the dash in corner by the edge of the windscreen had a bit of steel plate floating around, made a hole for gauge and set to it with the tin snips and started bending
what a disaster has to be one of the worst thing ive ever tried to make wouldn't have put it in truck if you had payed me
Here's a pic just for the record
catch can 111 (Small).jpg
Scratched my head for a bit, noticed i still has offcuts of the stainless steel pipe i used to extend the catch can found a couple of crank or cam oil seals lying around form a old Subaru head gasket set, they fitted perfectly over the ends of the pipe and the gauge fitted perfectly inside one of the seals with a strip of copper as a shim round the outside, figured i was onto something

Ran the pipe through bulkhead and plumbed it into manifold
