$6 Gauge pod (for 2-1/16")

[Matt Peschke]

Finally got my gauge put in my car.  Didn't want to drop much money on it, so I headed to home depot, and $6 later I had my parts. I used a basic door hinge (see pic), and a 2" female x slip coupling (the black peice)

I'm not huge on looks, so I don't think it looks to bad..price was right.

At least u didn't go as cheap as my buddy and use a Kokanee can looks for for $6

why doesn't anyone use the stock  gauge, does it not go high enough for your boost??? don't give me a hard time, i dont have a turbo ok.

[Matt Fredrikson]

cuz its maxed from factory and has no numbers just marks

Stock guage doesn't actually display boost, just a computer estimated level based on airflow so it isn't acurate at all.  For instance you could have a massive boost leak and it would display more boost on this guage as it is reading more airflow.

Nice pod by the way, It looks great for the price...

thanks miles.

i don't have a lot of kitty kicking around right now.  So it was nice to find a cheap, fairly good-looking soluiton.

now it's time to put an engine in the car
