Hmm i do not know if i like the location on those. Sure it makes them easy to see, but for me that would be too much of a distraction.

Yeh i just kinda started thinking about that lol.... GREAT postion but if it was a little lower it would be better... but most of the steering wheel mounted pods get in the way of your speedometer n stuff... the Autometer looks pretty good on this? What do you think?

Like this THIRD PIC DOWN in the FS thread

I believe the company was AIT.


I have my boost and A/F gauge on the steering wheel, one is a 60mm (Defi boost), the other a 52mm AEM wideband.


The three gauge pod is Gruppe S, with 60mm Defi oil temp, oil pressure and EGT.

Thanks
It's easy ... but seriously whose sitting there watching the gauge when they are supposed to be driving???

The Gruppe-S 60MM pod with Defi's you can set minimum and maximum alarms that will beep or alert you if a sensor is above or below a certain threshold. If you are concerned about overboosting, low AFR or anything else, program failsafes into your tune / ECU.

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a dash mounted pod similar to the ones CP-E makes for the evo x


Anyone know of anything like it?

NOT THE CENTER DASH PODS! Those are just hard to see...
i thought this was a joke, thought he was just setting them up there to be funny, wow that looks dangerous

i have a triple gauge pod that replace my little cubby below the radio and hvac controls, people cant see it when goin by, its stealth mode

Ok cool. Oh i am not paranoid or anything just curious. Just curious as to how easy it was to glance at them and still see them properly. But thanks for the input. Makes my decision on what to get next easy.

Gruppe-S, Lower din pocket mount, and steering column are hands down the best place to put them. That Evo X setup looks like a huge distraction(which equals dangerous).

I definately agree with that . I don't know how someone can get away with mounting the gauges there. If he/she ever got pulled over i am pretty sure they would give them a ticket. Especially with how stupid they are getting about having thigns mounted to your windsheild these days.
