There's a chance with any type of pressure like that. But let's go through the scenario. We mold onto the factory pillars, so the clips break away just like factory. We only drill as many holes as there are pillars to run wires and that's all, so your gauges will still at least have a plastic "barrier" from the physical airbag. The only real concern would be the wires, tubing, and whatever else you have that's running through the hole. As long as there is enough slack, you have a better chance of not damaging anything. When placing it into position after everything is wired should give you the proper slack, anyway. Mechanical boost gauge sure, but we highly recommend electrical gauges when you're doing oil temp, oil pressure...basically anything liquid.
