Seems like a wonderful deal for $20 Looks pretty good from this pic but would someone please take a side view so i can see the mount. Either way it's probably worth $20 regardless.

I'm really considering this kit. What guage are the most accurate for it's price?

I called Buschur the other day and asked them about the pod. They said it was just a generic pod. The one I ordered from summit looks just like it


Summit part numbers:
ATM-4303 Boost Gauge

ATM-2204 Gauge Pod

How would you mount it? Straps? That'll be pretty generic.

I wonder if you could put one IN the dash where it has the useless "Lancer" on the right... just a thought.

Yeah, probably. Once I get a chance to take apart my gauge cluster I'll check on that for you (assuming no one does before me).

Then you'll loose all the warning/status lights like the seatbelt, Intercooler spray, immobilizer and the door light.

You guys have warning lights in there? Maaaaan...all we have is a cruise control light I think.

More likely than not it's just that I haven't noticed them/set them off.

The pod just screws in to the column cover. I had that setup on my WRX, boost on right and EGT on left. Same setup is going on my EVO. Best part about this set up is all the gauges are within easy sight (requires very little eye movement to scan tack, boost and EGT).

Here ya go! Has to be drilled to stay in place. Besides, that plastic column is the cheapest to replace rather than anything in the dash when drilled. Also.. took the other gauge out but you get the drift.
