There will be, though I haven't decided wether to have a seperate pod just for the boost on the steering column or remove one of the gauges(water temp) for a boost gauge. I just got through relocating the headunit and dropped in the gauges and posted to update that it fits. They're not even hooked up yet. Nothing fancy about it really.... Not as nice as some other options, but it works.

EVO8 WHOA - Yes you can use the panel for the lower part. It's DIN aswell and fits perfectly and blends in really nice. It's easier to read 2" guages too compared to the factory set if you plan on keeping them down there.

EVO_RPM - 2 3/8 is physically too big to fit in a DIN panel without making some modifications.

Last checked they did. I have since been using the Mitsu blank DIN cover. However you do have to drill the holes for the gauges, but the fitment is much better and the plastic is sturdier than the SAAB piece.

where did you get the blank din cover and re-fitting kit so you can put the radio below the temperature controls?

I just called my local Mistsu dealer's parts department and they told me that Mitsu does not make either one of those parts for the Evo.

Thanks

The lower DIN opening can be had for as little as $19.

Original post

As far as the gauge panel goes, there are numerous options including the rather cool (IMO) Omori angled panel.

Ok im consued on the DIN covers...

I want three 52mm guages...

Which DIN cover do I need? The Mitsu OEM cover? Or the SAAB cover??? I thought the OEM guages were smaller than 52mm or something... Can someone shed some light on this for me?
