    Like the title says, I am looking for a gauge pod that will work for Defi gauges that goes in the location of the clock.

    I am also looking for:
    Sandwich plate for defi oil pressure gauge
    Coolant line piece for a water temp gauge
    Defi Water Temp Gauge
    Defi Oil Pressure Gauge

    I will be in the cities on 1/30 and can pick up on that day.

    I don't have the parts for you, but save yourself some effort and hassle, and put the oil pressure sender in the stock location (under/behind the alternator). The stock pressure "switch" turns on the light at 4.7psi anyway, which is completely worthless.

    Pending on what year/model your car is, there is another block plug back by the turbo as well, that can be removed and fitted with another factory boss, just like the front one for the oil pressure switch. Then you can install your oil temp sensor in there, and have it out of the way, and in a very accurate spot.

    I am currently running defi BF gauges in my sti and I used a T fitting to install the Oil Pressure sensor right behind the alternator like driften described, sooo easy and works perfect. As for the POD and the gauges I believe there was someone on here selling some as well as I knew someone on 815subarus.com was selling a set up.

    I already have the Defi controller and the boost gauge. So, just trying to piece together the rest. Figured I would look for some used parts before i bought new. Did you just do like a pipe fitting with a t in int?

    driftin 240: does the oil pressure light come on with the oil pressure sensor not in?

    I know you do Mr! After the mess we had with Putting in jeremys oil pressure stuff, I think I'm going to try and put the Oil pressure gauge in at the factory sesnsor location. If its just a couple fitting or thread into the stock hole that appears to be the easiest thing!
