Default Pillar Problem

One more dumb question for the night.
I just did a test fit of the boost gauge in my SOS pillar and with the tube connected to the gauge....it does not fit properly. I mean the gauge will fit in the pod but by doing it the hose bends at over a 90 degree angle which would cut off any chance of getting a boost reading. Anyone else come across this issue??

If it is for your Wide band A/F than it is not electrical and I think you just snip off the brass fittings if they are not needed for anything. JMO and I could be wrong but I wanted to give you an answer ASAP. (I too have no patience). Later J

Thanks guys! The wideband fits fine... I just cant figure out what the hell to connect the wires too.
The boost gauge has the brass fittings on it and does not want to fit too well. I will keep messing with the boost gauge for now.
i find it hard to believe that nobody has the Cobalt A/F gauge though. LOL

Check with jbailer. I know he had the cobalt a/f gauge. He should have some answers.
