I have a steering column pod, you can get the cluster surround pod like mebarsh has in single or dual or you can get a DIN gauge holder to go below the radio where the pocket is that can hold up to 3 gauges. Others have made custom setups or just use the pillars, personally I don't like pillar gauges.
Any links to a vendor where I could purchase either of these pods?
U just need to keep your eyes peeled in the fs section. The steering column pod and gauge bezels are custom and pop up every so often but don't last to long. Ppl pick them up fast. Demand and price are high but quantity is low.

Any links to vendors? Whats that actually called? or key words to search on google? Im liking that setup.
There are no vendors. They were custom made. Last person I seen making them was ForceFed. They were called single or dual gauge bezel.
Here's the picture of the link i posted earlier.
In the picture.
3 gauge pillar pod
Custom dual gauge cluster surround

230+k miles!? WOW! Sweet... So I'm about to throw in a boost guage today on my a-pillar. Is there a good 'how to' other than the one already posted in the how to section, that one seems a bit confusing wiring wise.
I'm thinking of grabbing illumination from my stereo rather than the dimmer control switch - any ideas pointers??

Maybe because my turbo doesn't stop spinning for up to 2minutes after the engine stops. Heck idk I just think its cool. Actually haven't used it for the entire (Hawaii) winter season. But I'm going to start using it again after I get my car running again.
Probably is a waste of time. Heck ur supposed to warm up your car before driving why not let it cool down before you turn it off. Haha I haven't done any of those two things and look where my engine is now(getting forged and head work).
Anywho I'll post a pic next week of another custom part where I stuck 3 temp gauges.

For peace of mind. Not really needed but it can't hurt a thing other then your gas mileage.
well even tho this is a gauge mounting discussion thread...
i have a turbo timer, it came with my MSP. i used to use it when i'd drive to work 45 miles (about an hour) away... down 476. when you're steady cruzin @ 80mph+ it's def not a bad idea to cool down the turbo before shutting it off. i've seen the beneficial effects first hand.

if needed ill build a gauge cluster too, but don't see the need for more then 3 gauges in my car right now.
