That's not bad, I kind of wish AWE sold just the vent pod without the gauge, it is probably the best looking vent pod in my opinion.



VS other vent pods:

can't you just cut up the vent you already have and make it look like that?

well if you plan on buying a vent pod you could at least try to save money and cut up the stock one. it shouldn't be too difficult to cut a circle with a dremel or something then just sand it to be smooth. I've seen many other people do the same and have it look right. if it does look like **** then whatever if you were going to buy one to replace it anyway

It seems like almost everyone is using the -30 hg to 25 PSI gauge, does anyone have the 0-15 PSI gauge? and if so how do you like it?

I don't think the 0-15 PSI has enough range in it if you are chipped. Before I got my chip I was running 8-10ish PSI but after the chip I can see it peak at 19 or 20 sometimes.

Here's mine, it was SUPER easy....15 minutes tops before routing lines/wires. Some people have a different preference but i'm fine with this cuz i never use my vents anyways....I'm in California! lol
