Thank you very much! It looks good! I have a bunch of messing around to do before mine looks like that

No problem. but it does fit great, it just covers the metal on the A pillar. To me, I know they can mold this pillar gauge much better. The gauge s don't fit well in it either. 2 gauges won't seat complete my flush and only 1 thumb knob with fit on each guage. It's very tight on the rearside, especially if you are using mechanical gauges

I would think this piece would be something that has a high enough demand to warrant some more R & D going into it. I only have one gauge that can fit in there now (knock) and it's a bit of a squeeze, but it seems to fit fairly well. I'll see how the other gauges fit once I get them. What is that gauge at the bottom (below your boost gauge)? I might try using the pod to cover up the stock pillar, but I'll try both ways and see which fits best.
 
I would agree. These pods should get a little R&R. I would buy another if it would fit better. I know the vendors know the pods fit like crap and they still charge premium price for them.

The knock guage is going to be the easiest one. My knock gauge fits well also. But the lower two......could use a tad bit bigger hole. They fit really tight, if you look at them, the faces dont sit flush. Behind the pod is even tighter. I hope u have small fingers ;-)

But if you are running all electrical gauges you shouldn't be as bad off. You should have a little room behind the pod .

My lowest guage is the oil pressure. I ran my gauges based on what I thought was the most important going from top bottom while in boost. Plus ease of installation. The oil pressure gauge has a ridged braided line, so I keep it at the bottom (less routing to the top of the pillar). The boost guage has a flexible small tube, so it was easier to run higher up the pod. Lastly the knock, its all wiring, so it was the easiest to run the wiring all the way to the top.

Cool, I know for sure I'll have boost and knock up there, hopefully the third one isn't too much of a pain to hook up. Thanks again, you have been more than helpful! Hopefully I can get mine to look that good
