What do you guys generally do for mounting boost gauges? I'm going to be adding 3 gauges to my car when my Blitz setup arrives. I've always been a fan of pillar mounting, but I don't think I have the skill to make a nice looking one myself.

Pods work great and can be placed anywhere you want.

Will this work on the 09 sedan?

^ Unfortunately, no. Your sedan has a more curvy dash that's different from the hatchback.

Ah ok. Thanks anyway. You don't happen to know the size of those blitz gauges that came with my s/c do you?

Where I had mine is still, I think, an ideal position. Easy to see, yet not blocking your view...

Thinking of using this - http://www.amazon.com/Auto-Meter-2204-Black-Mounting/dp/B0009RUXPG/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Seem like a decent pod?


EDIT: Etimago that setup is great. I was thinking of putting mine in that same spot (except my car is LHD). What pods did you use?

Thomas was selling his gauge pods...are they still available?

Yes still for sale, but I think Mason already has some actual gauges? Those kinds of mounting pods out to do the job, just make sure the dimensions match!

I believe you're correct that he does, but $100+shipping for the set might be worth having it all set. I can't imagine the pods themselves being much cheaper...
