some you can adjust, most you cannot.

I used the nylon tubing that came with the gauge as far as the firewall.
Then I used silicon tubing from www.hosetechniques.com.

Brrman, this is off-topic (apologies to Transverse ) but what happened to your beautiful A4? I'm assuming it's no longer with us, from the RIP in your sig pic. Looks like it was a beautiful car. I really like the wheels. What kind/size are those?

oh so the gauge holder blocks all air huh?

does anybody use that apr a/c gauge mount? does that block flow as well? i need to put to gauges in (EGT and Nitrous Press) and i dont really want to take up 2 vents.

Thanks for the link brrman. I really hope this gauge isn't screwed..I guess we'll see..prolly not gonna get around to installing it till this weekend...sooo much crap to do[:@]

Yes Dave, my pod does block the air flow..but you could drill small holes in it if ya want..just don't think Overspun will do that for ya. His AIM is OverSpun02 if you wanna get in touch with him and ask him some questions on it.

Alright Dave, did a little searching for ya. Seems like the only gauge that allows use for the vent (if you want vent mount) is the pod from awe-tuning. Problem..they only seem to come with gauges and AWE wants over 200 bones for one.

gauge pod

I'd personally just get Overspun's pod and drill holes if you want air flow. You could even mess a bunch of them up and still save yourself a boat load of money. That and I think the awe pod is pretty ugly.

Good luck! Lemme know what ya go with!

My sedan was totaled when some fool wasnt paying attention and came straight across my lane when I had a green light. I
t-boned him and that was the end of my car... I replaced it with an avant of the same color.

The wheels are ADR M-Sport 18x8.5

I've always wanted an avant.
Partly because of my lifestyle and practicality, and also because they are pretty rare compared to the sedan.
It handles just as well or better than my sedan too. Definitely the best looking wagon on the road.
