Boost Gauge Questions.

[e34m5]

Who has one? What did you use? DIY? I think I want a Digital gauge. May be easier to mount on top of the steering column

Don't want to use the sunglass holder area. I already have the XM receiver in there.

epods by autotech are the ones that go on the steering wheel column.

as for gauges you should order Defi digital gauges for the epods since mechnical gauge sensors will stick out too much from the pods.

as for the install, you have to tee off a boost line/ or for which ever gauge your using you have to transmit the signals through a route from the engine bay passenger firewall all the way to the main defi unit, if you go defi.

epod
2 Defi gauges they come green or amber (afr, oil,temp, boost, oils pressure whatever you like)
Defi the main control unit

these are whats needed for you gauge installation.

I recommend putting the defi controler in your ash tray area, it will require you to chip a piece of plasic off, but it will fit perfectly in there.

I highly recommend a someones whos got good knowledge about these things.
because even though I was like 2 feet away from master tech zolti while he put on the gauges, I would not be able to replicate his work. especially the oil nut drilling for the perfect fit. good luck and happy modding.:hi:

Defis are :drool:, but so dang expensive. I just cant justify over $700 for gauge setup....
