Gauge Pods

stevemainian · 07-08-2006, 01:22 PM

Since the procharger is going on next weekend, I need some gauges, so Im going with a boost/vaccum gauge, and an air/fuel gauge.

The problem is that I cannot make my descision on which pod to get.. Its down to the regular old full A pillar gauge pod, or the instrument cluster gauge thingy, the one that fits two gauges in with the instrument panel. Apparently from what I have been reading, none of the colors match correctly, in that case, it would make the A pillar look rather stupid. But then again, people have said just paint it.. The instrument panel one I like, the only thing bothering me is that it seems like the steering wheel would be in the way of the gauges, and that would annoy me.

Which shall I go with!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Do you have a wideband? because if you don't the A/F guage is just a light show with no purpose. Get a fuel pressure gauge much more valuable or an oil pressure gauge.

Oh and full a pillar ftw!

I agree, get the fuel pressure & boost gauges... they're really all that you need. Since I wanted my car to keep some sleeper apeal I chose a new bezel dual pod, bought the right paint from Ford then selected the gauges to match. Picture included...

They have the highest quality gauge pods on the market. They also look badass and you can get a holder for a raptor shift light too.

Ya coulda PM'd or looked at my site:

AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite Boost and A/F.

I too have a vert and a blower. I have three after-markert guages: Water Temp, Fuel Pressure, and Boost. The boost is a must. The first two are are an a-pillar and the boost is right on my steering colum. I also have a black rapture shift light which is barely visible when not using it.

x1000; they are by far the best piece out there and match 100%.
