    I do not agree with the term "lugnuts". They do not grow on trees and they are not eaten by squirrels. Therefore they shall now be called "ANDYLOVESPENIS".... And I have a MS paint drawing to back up my opinion:

        You should always ensure your ANDYLOVESPENIS's are tight prior to spooling your turbo.

          That would definitely be an acceptable term for lugnuts=) Let's get that made into a standard

                HAHA

                Back on topic...for now.

                Out with the old, in with the new!!

                Brand new S54 oil housing on the left, S52 on the right.

                Just ordered the 14mm to 12mm Vanos banjo bolt from VAC Motorsports.

                That housing takes up so much room!

                  any reason you didn't use something like the champion oil filter relocation with a thermostat? Not real sure about the benefits of s54 housing, though. I just love the look of a hidden oil filter haha.

                    Less work, oem reliability and avoiding a lot of a/n fittings.

                    I definitely thought about getting the vac or Achilles units but $$$..

                        Going to spray the back portion of the gauge black to make it more incognito? Looks like you did a very tidy job cutting=)

                            Yes, I will. I have to figure out how to secure it in there. The spindle that came with it is too big. a bunch of electrical tape?

                                Or just hot glue, firm but easy to get off if needed.

                                      I can't 100% tell how it is sitting, but if you are looking to secure it from the back maybe a black hose clamp?

                                        I would even think a piece of hose (or PVC pipe maybe) that has the same ID as the OD of the gauge. Slip it over the gauge up to the front. It could pinch the vent ribs between the gauge lip and the hose, applying even pressure hold around the entire gauge. Just a thought.

                                          It is pretty tight in there after sanding the upper and lower to make the gauge fit. I might use some of that interior tar that I used to hold on the inner door plastic. Simple, black and I can remove it if I need to with ease.

                                          Unless TCD aka "Captain Velcro" wants to share the knowledge. ;)

                                          - Got the tiling done in the bathroom surround. Need to tile the floor, drop off the wet table saw and pick up my air compressor so I can blow out the head bolt threads in the block.
