I bought the universal double gauge pod from Advance Auto and trimmed it with scissors.

Advance Auto Parts: Dual A-Pillar Gauge Pod by APC - Part 107063

APC Dual A-Pillar Gauge Pod $29.89

 

While test-fitting the gauges a little too forcibly, I caused a bit of a crack, so I applied some bondo that I'll sand tomorrow. Now I just need to remove and tap the manifold for the boost gauge, have a bung welded into the exhaust, wire the gauges, paint the pod, install the gagues, secure/install the pod, and drink a beer.

I also plan on installing the NW pulley saver kit, NW coolant separator, NW catchcan, and larger H/E. I really doubt I'll get all this done this weekend, but I'll give it a shot. I don't want to hit the track until I at least have the wideband installed and working.

Sanded out my screw-up and painted the pod last night. I'm going to wire the gauges and determine a non-invasive way to secure the pod. Busy night ahead.

Looks really good. Make me one!

 

Looks great, keep the pics and updates coming!

 

Glad you're getting a wideband! Fantastic progress Anthony, can't wait to see it installed! Think you might have it in by the next Cars & Coffee?

 

Here are the final photos and video. I don't have the O2 sensor installed yet, so the wideband is displaying an error.

what did you decide on for securing it in place?

 

I secured it with a plastic zip tie, lol.

The zip tie is secured inside the pod. Once tightened, I clipped the excess and slid in the boost gauge.

 

Very impressive. When are you starting the mass production?

 

Very nice work!!! Thanks for sharing.

 

I just wanted to post some daytime photos, and with that I guess I'm done.

Great job and Professional as could be. You will be happy till the next idea sets in.

Did you consider painting it the same color as the headliner? looks great and for the cost involved you should have orders pouring in!

 

x2...

Now if only I had an engine powerful enough to warrant monitoring... haha

 

JHM2K, I could not agree with you more. I feel your pain I guess I could use a 0-60 alarm clock . and in the second pod I could put a gauge to monitor my outstanding fuel mileage

 

you guys need to think outside the box!!! how about a butt accelerometer and a permagrin gage?

 

32, you must be refering to that "add two cylinders" option. LOL

 

The wife picked the color, and I kind of liked it and went with it. I plan on painting the other pilar to match.

 

that would work john but i know for a fact even the limited guys and gals need a permagrin gage!
