Guage Pod

Guys.

Anybody put a guage on the driver-side A-pillar? If so, what gauge-pod fits without looking too ugly? Possibly one from the Accord??

Any suggestions on an alternative location? It's a 2" diameter guage.

i would guess at getting a 6th gen accord pod, and then making it fit. use a heat-gun to re-mold it.

You are not running boost, why do you want the pod? Sounds like it will be rice.

Thanks Guys

Thanks for all the info. I have e-mailed guagepods.com and will await their reply.

Yes, its for a 20psi Autometer boost guage - white faced to match the instrument cluster.

I don't want it to look 'ricey' and hence am still contemplating on placing it elsewhere.

All this misc. parts for the turbo system is adding up to be quite a bit! The stupid clamps for the turbo downpipe with the piece to weld the downpipe to is $90!!!
