If you are getting the mechanical one there is a little bit of modifaction required for it to fit into the tripod but it can be done. The tripod is desinged for electrical gauges. The tripod is an excellent product. It looks like a factory part it has a great finish and reasonably priced. I am very happy with mine.

If you have blocked off the small vacuum hose with a screw or something then just take out the screw and join the boost gauge pipe to it, or unplug that little plastic piping you have blocked, and plug the boost gauge pipe straight onto that metal pipe.(note: that is assuming that you blocked off that small vacuum pipe to disconnect your BOV) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35887-boost-gauges-for-xr6-t/page/3/#findComment-546510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had a bit of trouble finding a 90deg elbow for the vac/boost line to conect to as it would not fit straight on there was not enough room I ended up having to get a bsb thread elbow and retaping it to npt thread as they are very similar anyway. the npt elbows I could find were all to big. But it is in now and looks awsome. I love it.
