boost gauge pod ??
I like using a mechanical boost gauge. My question is Do they make gauge pods for our car other than behind the steering wheel or in the ashtrey?
I have been searching for a few days now and those are the only 2 styles I can find. I did see one that tucked into the windshield and a - pillar but I don't think they are available anymore. Anyone know of any vent mounts, pillar mounts, overall better locations than the previous mentioned. I don't want to spend 400 on a digital vent gauge. I currently use the JB4 fuel hijack but want to use my mechanical gauge. |

You could look into the Awron gauge that goes into the middle dash vent. Looks clean and OEM.

I think the reason they don't sell A-pillar Gauge mounts is because they would be in between you and the airbag in the event of a collision where the pillar airbag is deployed.

The awron gauge does look good. It's just to expensive and the idea is to use mechanical.
Does anyone know of a similar vent holder to the ECS 335 for our 1? That would be ideal. Especially the left driver side vent. |

I haven't found one.
I think your best options are -ATI steering column gauge pod -universal gauge pod stuck on dash somewhere -hack up the air con vent yourself to make something like the ecs one. |

I have a Defi Racer 60mm boost gauge I want to install as well. So far my only two choice are defrost vent or in the middle of the dash in a way similar to the chronometer found in porsche 911.
Sucks because it was so easy to fit in the round vent in my previous car.
