Take out your least favourite heater control, probably the windscreen/footwell/in yo face adjuster.

I took the clock out of mine. The close up makes it look a bit pants around the top with the gaps but in the car you can't see them. I wanted to make sure I could put the clock back in at a later point hence no butchery of the original plastic.

How about sacrificing the drivers side centre vent? Heaters crap anyway.

Wouldn't have thought it's be an off the shelf job, but a simple bit of cutting/bonding and it should look cool.

I have a boost gauge in the vent of my Signum, DIY fit.

lol yes was at idle (and not recently), the throttle plates needed to be adjusted. Idles bang on 14.7 these days, emissions are only a fraction higher than the Cat test limits.
