That's the diagram I should have used=) Technically in a multipiece wheel, the lip and barrel would be the "rim". It is really a preference situation now since it has been misused so much.

I'm not saying rim isn't correct now due to industry but it was used incorrectly for so long that it became correct/acceptable.

People still use ain't even though it is not a word. That is similar to the wheel versus rim debate in my mind. 

Edit: Also Wikipedia states the same so it is the gospel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

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.

[Earl]

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

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!

[Rowleym]

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 $$$..

Vent oil temp gauge install:

Mark your spots to cut

Cut

Small cuts and some sanding of the upper and lower edges and she fits!

Now on to the fun part.

That's all for now, folks!

[Earl]

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

[wasnt m3]

^exact thoughts.

[DrLeadFoot]

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?

Dab of silicone on the top and bottom where it touches the vent?

[YoungCR]

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

[TCD]

Hot glue, silicone, electrical tape?  haha You guys are

Enlighten us! Haha

If you say Velcro... #overthehill

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?

[Bassboy3313]

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.
