Would like to install a boost gauge, any good factory looking spots? I know there is a kit that mounts on the top of the steering column but I'm very tall and need the steering wheel at the highest position....so I think this spot may be in my way.

vent gauge kit, you can bug it at awetuning.com

awe's is the first one,... i have the apr vent gauge, i think it looks better and the lights color match my instrument lights. i have itin the middle vent on the center vents

I went the cheap route and bought myself a SunPro gauge and some other small bits and bobs at Pep Boys for around $70 and installed everything myself into my center vent. Took 4 hours from driving to Pep Boys to having the gauge look like this installed:

x2.

Podi if you want an OCDx10000 Audi owner/creator, AWE if you have a B5 and don't want to wait for the Podi to be released.


Dakota, we should copy that picture of his car and you can make it your sig... HDR ftw.

mine is custom as well, better then spending $250 for the kit :)

podi... look at my gallery pics.. my audi service advisor asked if it as a OEM euro part:D

Hurry the hell up and slam it then so these girls can be sisters! [8D]

I don't understand why people would pay $250 for this same stuff when they could just piece it together from the list of supplies that AWE gives you on their website (or used to, too lazy to check).

It'll be slammed in the next month....as long as bank of america doesn't spend my savings!

i put mine in the driver vent. looks good i think

looks good but i would be cold in this weather ;p

I like that on the drive side, any more info on what you guys needed for the install. I do like mount on top of the steering wheel but am afraid it would be annoying or blocking view, any comments from owners?

that was my main reason for not getting a PODi, i thought it would bother the hell out of me, but its the best looking gauge for the $ (expensive yes, but its high quality and perfectly replaces the OEM piece, it doesnt glue or tape down)

my rational was when the hell do i need to know if im going under 20 mph? i dont.... and you know what, the Podi has not only never ever bothered or annoyed me but i love it! and im very very particular with my car. you will not regret it i promise you that...

its great to make your own shit but you arent modding a honda... i have a pic of mine in my gallery but i took it way too low, it doesnt block that much of the gauge from the drivers view and there is an awesome new digital gauge available now, i just ordered it to replace my needle gauge...

Let me know if you're selling your gauge now that you're going digital :) I do like the digital's but again wasn't sure about it being distracting. Think I'll give the podi a shot.

sure, it should be in this week... ill let u know

the PODi gauge is really nice, its an ormoi or something i think but i want to try the digital and see which i like better...

i have mine in that little circle vent above the drivers vent. it was orginally a pillar mount i bough from my friend and i just cut it down to fit along w/ the dash. sorry i dont have pics tho.
*and now that i think of it its not to factory lookin either.

Anyone have the ECS column mount, it's in the middle instead of off to the right like the podi?

ECS is a knockoff of the PODI and blocks most of your center MFA display [sm=smiley21.gif]

plus ECS service is terrible! Winston (maker of Podi) sent me a new three way piece for the install after i broke mine!

I don't think this will really block much but it def looks the best out of all the gauges.

hey i dont have pics of a boost gauge cause mines not in yet but check out cincytts how to for the diode mod and his location on the lower part of the drivers side is sweet but mine is going into the a pillar. i am going to custom fiberglass it in and also put in a voltage gauge above it. when i get it done i will post pics but for now i have to work on sealing the seams on my bumpers of my buddys stang. when i am done with his car i will do my a pillar and than post the pics
