    Does anyone have one with 52mm or 60mm Gauges in them. I'd like to see what they look like installed.

    No idea which pod you're talking about, but here's a link to the massive nasoic gauge thread.

    I have to half agree. They have good bang for the buck stuff but most of it doesnt fit right. And ive never seen one of those gauge pods installed, kind of ugly imo.

    Well, I don't remember what brand Tom picked up, but the layout is a little lower and doesn't block the other gauges quite as much. Alot nicer, IMO.

    Tom, link?

    Yup, that's what I have with 52mm Defis mounted in (egt + boost). Much better layout than the Perrin one, imho.

    No. That layout is retarded.

    Have fun running out of gas unexpectedly because you can't see the gauge.

    I believe I heard Fobiawrx say that he shoved 60mm's in his Autometer bezel. I'd like to actually see that closer.
