What to do with third gauge pod... ideas or leads please.

I recently relocated my radio and plan to install gauges in the upper slot. Unfortunately I've only found triple gauge pods for the upper slot, I really don't want anything besides my aem uego and boost gauge. Anyone have a lead on a double gauge pod for the upper slot, or have an idea at what to fill the third slot with. I suck at fabricating but a mitsubishi logo place holder would be pretty cool or something like that. I apologize if this topic has been played out, I searched (albeit briefly) but couldn't find much on this.

Thanks,

Aven

you could probably just make your own 2 gauge pod that would be very minor fabrication. to my understanding the triple is only a piece of plastic anyways

You can always do Aquamist! It has a spiffy Guage for your Alcohol/Meth Injection kit! Also can get a AEM TRU-BOOST EBC Gauge.

I am a big fan of oil pressure gauges. I dont trust idiot lights. I know you dont want another gauge but i would consider it.

Awww yeah, thanks for the ideas. I'm sure I'll find another reason for a new gauge someday. Meth injection hmmmm, sounds delightfully addictive =D.

Tru boost is an electronic boost controller no? I've decided to go manual. But how ricey would that be! i'll have to start adding BOV, and nitrous kits with four purge outlets.

If you find that pod with the mitsu logo place holder please let me know!

From what I've researched on EGTs are basically unnecessary when you have a wideband, especially with the mild modifications i'm gonna do.

Definitely not ricey at all, it works great and it looks neat and clean. They also have radar detectors in Gauge form... That's cool!

No no I meant sort of ricey to have an MBC, a boost gauge, and a tru boost.

Did not mean to insult anyone with a tru boost! I just had a bad experience with my greddy profec on my rx-7, so decided
to go manual this time.
