Boost gauge for Supercharger
 

I want to replace the little Voltage pod with a stand alone Boost gauge
Anyone know of one that would fit and not look out of place ?
Maybe a walk thru on taking that piece of dash apart

1) You have a few choices on gauges, I would advise spending a little as if you do put this in the dash you do not want it to fail as some of the cheaper ones have been known to do.

2) The 3 gauges in the dash are run on a single board so if you want to replace 1 you have to do them all. :(

I found that out the hard way.

Yeap it sucks but you will have to get 3 gauges to replace the stock ones or place the gauge somewhere else.

Yep, can contact I believe GaleForce who does 1 or 2 pods for the A pillar.

So if I do all 3 what else can I use or messure in the pods ?

I have a combo boost/AFR in the first one, 2nd is Aquamist controls and 3rd is oil temp. The Aquamist is coming out and being replaced with radiator temp.

-Boost
-Air/Fuel Ratio
-Oil pressure
-Oil Temp
-Coolant Temp

Whatever you want. I recommend AFR/Boost/Fuel Pressure for any boosted car. If you already monitor some of those then you could add Oil Pressure. If you are removing the factory oil temp gauge, then adding that back in wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Ok now what gauges are recommended?
Any install walk thru?

Digital or analog? or some of both?

How about this: You could keep the electronics functioning correctly by not completely destroying, let's say the clock, by keeping the components plugged in and hiding the the clock under the dash. This way you could add a gauge and keep the others stock if you want to.

Personally, I'm going to replace all three.

I went with Defi Advance RS boost, oil temp, and oil pressure gauges in the triple meter. Two Innovate AFR gauges are going into the A-pillar soon. I went with the Advance RS because the green matches the rest of my interior lights. :tup:

You should look for a Haltech dual display AFR gauge. Two reading in one 52mm gauge. #winning

I use use "boost / Oil Temp / Oil Pressure" in my OEM location. I also use my EBC and my Wideband in the cubby. GTM did the install with this DIY guide.

All ProSport 60mm Evo Premium Series and a GFB EBC.
