$6 Gauge pod (for 2-1/16")
« on: October 25, 2005, 05:40:22 pm »
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.

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...

Ds-map / Jackal, highly recommended.  I've been running it for the last 3 - 4 years.  Amazing improvement in throttle response and overall power under part throttle conditions, and that was with the old maf still in place for 2 years.  Amazing tuning platform in my opinion, and best of all free.
