What you will need:
A plastic trim tool or slim wide flat head screwdriver and some tape.
Method:
With your trim tool or screwdriver get behind the vent in the dash and pull the screwdriver towards you, as you feel it coming swap to the other side and do the same. Once you can get your fingers behind the lip pull the vent using your hands.
To remove the chrome ring you need to prise it off from the back edge between the vent ring and the plastic vent. Usually you need to do this in 3 places before the vent ring will become free.

You can buy a mount from ebay

    Mike Commons there is 2 issues with that, usually the gauge holders are 52mm that’s 60mm. Secondly you will have to wire up and get additional sensors fitted for the other options. I recommend the stack gauge as good pedigree, clean look and super accurate. tidd.ly/2PnrSOL has a choice of white and black face

    Haha thanks for the kind words, the foam is the insulation gaskets found between each jon in the heating system, if you pull a vent forward you will see it wrapped around the end of each vent, or possibly not in your case, usually over the years the heat cycles wears the stickyness down and it comes loose and comes out the vents

    Like what others have said - finally! A YT video showing how to dismantle these. My clip-on phone magnetic phone mount pushed the flimsy centre bar holding the vent flaps away making the vent pretty much useless. Couldn't for the life of me work out how to take it apart. You've just saved me around £10 for a replacement one off eBay and given me a small sense of achievement. TYVM :D (the tenner saved has half paid for and OEM Mounts one - name-dropped ya ;) )

    Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP the reason most aim for the Bam engine is that they have shown to be the best for tuning purposes, stronger engine, best set up, wide band ecu etc. 180 is smaller turbo, 225 is bigger turbo and can produce nearly 290bhp on stock turbo and stock engine with some subtle mods

    Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP Wideband or narrow band is just a reference to the voltage output of the sensor. Narrowband 0-1v. Wideband 0-5v. A wideband gives better resolution so they are better to tune with. As you are just monitoring afr via a standalone gauge and not using it for engine control (aka the ecu isn't monitoring the signal) it doent really matter. Most standalone gauges are wideband

    @@TheParrottBros 3bar cool meens I can run a 1:2 ratio. Been doing nos for years . It's the cheapest way to add 50bhp to 1000bhp. Just got to pull the timing when spaying and get the air to fuel ratio correct I am old school so I check the spark plugs as well. That's y i asked about the windband ecu with is nice as I could get that to add the fuel. But i run a wet kit as it's safer . And your right in the uk nitrous is not big here. In the US its big. companies like nos /Nx/ cold fusion/ in the uk we use wizards of nitrous. Trev is the God of nos. But the meth & water kits r nice touch. it cools the chamber down inlet temperatures Down . and course allows you to advance That timing to get massive power. Had someone one time got a water methanol kit then the next day said to me don't produce no extra power. Wast of time 🤔😂he forgot to get it tuned and to advance the timing. I will be using a water and Med kit on top of the nitrous in the end. As nitrous u have to pull timing but with both kits u shod get away with pulling no timing when spraying. Sing about mess and water kits is that you must have them filled up all times because you tune the engine that way it's only you run out of of water and e85 you're knackered because your advanced timing is too far . But then goimg into things way to much . can the TT be tuned on HP tuners or EFI live. On the stock ecu. Look into the nitrous even if you only had a 50 shot you'll be amazed you can even use it just to take away the turbo lag so there's someone deletes turn off when it hits 10 PSI . Cool u take care my new friend
