Newsouth Vent Pod Boost Guage Query
« on: February 04, 2015, 09:15:56 pm »
Just installing my new newsoith boost huage in the drivers side vent - where the wires come out the back of the guage the hole is larger this exposing the interior of the guage - my question is this - if the air vent is open will dust get into my guage and eventually get all over the glass?

I can't find any info on this and not sure whether to tape up or block the hole to stop this happening?

I'm assuming it's not left like this for any type of heat dissipation?

Little grommet in place should do the trick!
