Welcome to the forum !!
Have you tried doing a search for (vent pod) ?
The search function can be a great tool when your lookijg for a specific thing.
I dont have a vent pod gauge, or know if there is a walk-through for one, but if I were looking I'd try searching for it. Good-Luck..

took a look around but not lots of info about the vent pod

[MTuning]

all your wires/tubing will hide behind the trim pieces that you will remove to get the vent out.

Search is your friend.
Good luck with the install. I saw a group buy for the pre-made pods, on another mazdaspeed forum.

If you want to retain the vent's basic functionality, go to www.therpmstore.com

thats awsome thatnks alot and as for like power and the vacum hose where would that be routed to

[Elbows-High]

I like to tap into the i/p dimmer switch for power, at least for the lighting of the gauge. This way, your gauge will dim with the rest of the i/p lighting.

I don't have an answer for the vacuum source. I've never hooked one up in a 3 (I only installed the gauge into the pod for publication pictures). I'm sure someone will answer that for you. ;)

thanks alot for the power source question now for the vacum anyone would be able to chime in ??

[polski--ms3ski]

where would you routethe wires so that it dosent look all nasty like through the vent and where??

They've already pointed you in the right direction. How about searching a little on your own.

starting at the fuse holder, pull of the center dash kick panels, run behind the radio, pull of the dash around the steering column, zip tie to something so it does not get caught in the steering column, run up to the vent. if you cant figure that out, then idk. very simple install
