Forgot to mention on another forum the remark was the RHD gauge pod on the A Pillar wasn't very stable and was prone to falling off!!!!! Definite no no for me after that. What's the point of spending the $$ if it's tacky?

Lets you do boost, oil temp, oil pressure, even seen someone do afr's with it.


Agreed but the cost of the cables/sensors are $120+ each from memory and I figured I'd rather have a boost gauge in front of me. That would also mean I can set the GReddy Informeter Touch up to show other items e.g. temp, tacho + alarm, etc...

As for oil temp/pressure and AFR's, you need to buy lots of random sensors and not all of them are guaranteed to produce the results I'd want. I really wanted an AFR gauge for my car but then it's not too easy to install on a stock downpipe since it requires drilling/welding/etc- something I"m not too keen on just yet! Besides later on I can always do this and swap for the 2-gauge pod.

Anyway I ended up with the Evo X Steering Wheel Carbon Pod from Rexspeed but BE WARNED it doesn\'t suit everyone especially if you are trying to install an AEM digital boost gauge (30-4406). I\'ll post up a new thread and link to it from here explaining why.

Starting to regret the gauge pod since it blocks my in-gear (which is vital for track in the SST).

I'm planning on reverting back to stock and am happy to sell the CF pod if someone is interested- barely used! Cost me a shade over $100 to buy brand new 2 weeks ago.

Saw this on the US forums and thought it was worthy of a LOL in terms of a few too many gauges:
