Hey guys,

I am close to pulling the trigger on some speed parts, however, I want to be able to monitor boost before I do anything.

Where are folks mounting their boost gauges? I don't think the traditional a-pillar pod will work with the side curtain airbag. I am not quite fond of the one post I saw that relocated the HVAC controls down the Boost Gauge in the original HVAC location.

Has anyone made a custom Nav trim plate that would incorporate gauges?

Somebody's installation from the EvoXForums.

Here's another one done by Cockpit-Zeal from Japan.

 

I'm hoping someone will come out with an aftermarket stereo install kit w/ holes for gauges, like this.

 

I was thinking of doing that way but with the gauge on the bottom because I getting a flip-out head unit with Defi gauges.

If you select 2008 Lancer in here, there is a dash kit available for an aftermarket stereo. It's a double din space. So 1 slot for head unit & 1 pocket slot were you can insert gauges, something like in the above picture, depending how you place things. You have to buy kit locally (metra only sells to dealers), but it's only $30.

 

Ugh, I need the Nav.....

 

Thats great for the non-nav guys...but what about us Nav guys? I am hoping someone will make a pod that is part of the trim of the NAV unit.

 

There's this, don't know if you've seen it or not.

Might want to put an angle on the gauges, unlike this one.

 

Yeah, I saw that. I'm not to fond of it. I might order a stock nav trim plate and mock up my own if I feel energetic, but I'm hoping some company beats me to it

does the NAV have electronic gauge in the options ?

 

It is not available in stock form, but you can get something from HKS that shows the boost guages on the navi.

 

Coltspeed Japan will have what you're talking about made for the X should be released real soon.

 

I found a photo, not sure if thats the colt speed car or not but I want that dash kit.

 

Thats clean..very clean

 

i don't really like the look of the dash it looks to long. Or it may be the picture.
