gauge mounts

[jlocurto]

what kind of gauge mounts is everyone going with? im undecided!!

 

[jam_asian85]

A) "custom" vent pod
B) triple gauge pod on top of the center console
C) triple gauge pillar pod ( just a few people )
D) simple gauge pod mounted on the steering column
E) "custom" mounted by the lid on top of the ashtray

I have the Mearcat pod and like it alot. A little pricey, but worth it. http://www.mearcat.com.au/

 

[intak3_bLkMs3]

i will be getting a dual mount pillar gauge

 

[mrjoshyman]

i think that a triple guage pod looks best. unoriginalusername has a really nice looking one -- they can get really pricey though...

 

[jlocurto]

i was thinking the vent one cause i feel it would look the most stock...but im not sure if i would need more gauges then just the boost one?

I like that Mearcat pod. I emailed them and they said they didn't know we switched to the black interior and he'd have to send samples to color match. It looks like you have a black pod though FrequentFlyer?

That is actually the pic off their website, not my car, but I've got an 08.5 and the one I received matches fine IMO. I can snap a few pics. My dash is not black, it's dark grey, so I'm not so sure what they're talking about.

I didnt like the idea of losing a vent so i installed it on the steering column. The color matches better then the crappy camera shows.

what gauge is that, and where did you get it and the mount from, i was wanting to do what you did with yours. how difficult was it to install?

well arent they in the process of making that vent pod..that still allows air to flow?

It's the Defi Red racer gauge and I just used the pod that came with it. I am really happy with the quality of the gauge and the install wasnt that hard. I wired it to the fuse box under the glove box. Only thing is the wires that came with it were about 3 inches too short..... figures (braindead . I just extended it and works great. Love the location, really convenient. Got it from JSCSpeed for a great deal

Yeah I did hear that. Kind of excited to see the final product. It was like 100 degrees out the day I was installing my gauge and removing something that delivered heavenly AC didnt seem right at the time

I have never liked the look of the 3 gauges over the vents in the middle, but I might consider it if it was just 2 pods (boost, a/f). The left gauge vent pod seems like a good idea except I pretty much block it when I'm driving.

Then again, I like the brackets that mount these to the pillar, but then theft becomes an issue. Of course, I will probably get some prosports and mount them like this anyway.

This is how I went with it.

Me too, just won't be able to read it while driving but I guess that's what the datalogging is for That is one of the cleanest interiors I've seen
