pop out the vent. It has a retaining ring around it that pops out, that holds the gauge in place and snaps back in. No mounting hardward needed, use a 52mm gauge. Takes about 3-5mins to do it.

There was enough of a gap between the dash and the existing vent that I didn't need to drill to runt he wires. I vampire clipped my boost gauge light off the dimmer switch. My AF gauge is wired off the power and ground of the ecu.
2 1/6" is the same thing.

I have both the AF and the boost gauge in the eye-*****.
Just a few tips though, if you are running the small plastic boost hose to the gauge, get some more of the "crush-washers". I've found every time the radio surround comes off I have to cut the vac hose, and replace the crush washer.
Also I ran the wires for the AFR from the ECU, but tapped into the parking lights for the "light" on the boost gauge too.
Oh yeah, the vent rings + autometer sport comps match up really nicely. <G>
