They are a very handy tool and once you learn to use them you will never go without.

Good luck on your project and remember Do it right the first time so you don't have to redo it. It looks very nice.

QUOTE=MrCIG;4238817]I would leave the vacuum / boost gauges. They are a tell tail when things start going bad in your engine. I know where mine should be and one was off a little. I caught a failing valve before it took out the whole motor.

Couldn't agree more with this.

Phil Lipschutz told me once while pointing at the boost gauge, "that's the money gauge". So true. The higher it is the more money you'll spend. Lol

And it was the boost gauge on my motor that told me I sucked a valve. It was bouncing all over the place. Motor was still running "fine" except for the boost gauge.

My .02. Keep the boost gauge in eye sight!!!
