Gauge Pod


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I've recently done some mods to my v7 STI (TBE, Fuel Pump, Tune etc).

So happens my clock decided to stop working, so I thought it would be a perfect place to put in a gauge pod cluster.

Any recommendations on which ones to get and from where?

I'm quite interested in the recessed look, similar to this:

Also any recommendations on what type of gauges to get, obvious one would be Boost... Maybe Oil Pressure? Exhaust Gas Temperature?

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers

Looks like the ATI/Defi are the better brands for fit and finish.

This one would give a recessed but fit, but as Scoobydoo mentioned the visor helps with reflections:

Also what is a good brand of gauge? Mechanical or Electronic?

Electronic, definitely. Also be sure you get the right pod size to fit your gauges. You don't want to get the above pod, if your gauges are 60mm hahaha. Or figure out what pod you are getting first, then get the right size gauges to suit. It's probably easier that way.

Really? Hah! I thought it was shorter. Oh well.

With regards to 52/60 sizing, the ATI one can be modified to take either size, but once you move to 60 it's a permanent modification iirc

Thanks guys,

I've looked at the ATI gauge pod on ebay and the cheapest I can get to NZ is like 280nz...

I would like to run the Defi gauges and managed to get a BF boost gauge off a mate. Did not realise that I also need a control unit which will cost another $250.

Now assuming I get all the kit, this is going to set me back a good $1200 (if not more) just for gauges... No thanks Jeff.

I am a noob when it comes to gauges so excuse my lack of knowledge.

I think I'm just gonna keep it simple and get a boost gauge and mount it on the pillar, looking at this prosport gauge off TM:

Any other recommendations are welcome :-)

Depending on how many gauges you are including in that, the Defi gear isn't cheap new. $400 a gauge in shops. There's a set of 4 gauges and control unit for $1300 on Trademe... that's an indicative price. Sets of 3 normally go for about 900-1000.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
