I was a bit worried about that too but it turns out it's not an issue. I haven't noticed any particular hot/cold feeling on my hand, the vent seems to be diffusing the flow quite homogeneously.

I contacted Japanparts.com and asked about the product, it was subsequently listed on their site as an available part to buy at my request.

The instructions that the gauge comes with include English, very VERY clear and concise. By the looks of it, there shouldn't be any problems with installation. I already removed the air vent on the left side in about 10 seconds.

If anyone can figure out how to order the 86 vent mount and the boost guage I'd be in for this!

If you want to go super crazy Greddy has a 62mm master gauge that reads everything... and I mean everything (boost, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, Air fuel mix etc...) in one. But you're looking at well over a grand to set it all up.
You can get the P3 guage for a whole helluvalot less, it uses the perfectly accurate and adequate ECU sensors, with specialized PIDs for things like oil temp, and has 3 0-5V universaul aux inputs for other sensors.

THAT is actually pretty darn close to ideal.

@NYCsubaruBRZ yes and no... I didn't want to run any additional adapters and wanted a plug and play gauge, but keeping interior as minimal as possible.

This allows me to remove and put back to stock whenever I want to, and also gives me the ability to monitor oil/water temps at the track.

For my situation it's a win/win. YMMV.
