I wanted a boost gauge for my corsa turbo, but i am not over keen on the pillar pod things as they are a bit too obvious, would like something a littel more suttle? what have other people got on here?

Hopefully getting it back end of this week, will post pics!

cheers

Mount it where the ash tray is, allthough the reason people mount it on the pillar pod is so you can see it. Which IMO is the point.


There is also a stick on MFD cover thing that holds 2 guages. You could try that.

Failing that take a leaf out of the ford boys book and cut out the airvent next to the headlight switch and stick it in there


looking forward to pics

Its not that i dont like the pillar pod, and tbh i will prob end just getting of those. I am just not overkeen on stuff that sticks out and dont look like it should be there, my car looks pretty standard bar Wheels, lowered, Big brakes and BFO FMIC, will have a look at mounting them in the ash tray.

Has anyone got any pics of where they have mounted gauges?

cheers

Ash tray is a bit far away to be able to see it without significantly taking your eyes off the road, IMO.

Why dont you get a single pod and mount it on the left hand side of the dash binnacle?

Out of all the guages the boost is least important IMO!!

Stack dash has oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, fuel pressure, and a few other things so it tells me if something is wrong there! But it can only display 2 things at once (unless an alarm is going off). Boost you normally just glance at to see what it is hitting....
