Boost gauge Location on 05+

Ill play.. Dual AFR gauges on flexpod mount. Fuel pressure and boost gauges on Lotek a-pillar. All AEM

 

How do you like the Speedhut gauges so far?

 

They are good quality with a lifetime warranty. Haven't had any issues so far. I ordered them to match the stock gauges and appear as OEM as possible but there are plenty of other options available. IMO the flexpod is perfect as far as maintaining line of sight while driving. I'm really happy with the setup.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Sorry for the resurrection, but very nice! You're the only other person I know who has the same TRD gauge. I had to hunt for awhile to get mine, and its nice because it actually has a sweep across the face, not like a 25 psi gauge.

 

Is your supercharger painted?

 

what kind of question is that?

he should post pics

 

I agree 100%!

 

Got it used like that, think its powdercoated, not paint.

 

Hot damn that looks good!!

 

I couldn't get my flexpod to fit well and hated the wires dangling out back. Also not all gauges fit well.

With steering wheel tilted all the way up it was tight fit. I've got a dual pillar from Lotek in box just need time to mount it.

 

I've got the Lotek dual pod which I love. I didn't have any fitment issues that some people spoke of, other than putting a little bit of pressure on the oh shit handle to make it fit a little cleaner. Running an AEM boost gauge as well as an AEM wideband. Any other gauges I can get through Torque or my radio (via the Maestro RR).

 

Bringing back an old thread. I just installed my boost gauge, but I'm having trouble fitting my gauge into the lotek pillar pod on the lower gauge mount. I have an AEM X-Series gauge. It seems that the bezel is too large and contacts the upper gauge mount. Anyone else has this issue?

 

Some have had to trim a small amount of the mount or the bezel to make it fit properly. The AEMs have a large bezel ring, making them fit tight as hell. Looking at mine right now, the bezel ring is nearly touching the rest of the pillar. I don't have the X-Series, but I imagine the bezel size is real close.

 

Mine is literally touching. Might have to find another solution. Which mounts do people use for the steering column? I would hate to put it there, but I have no choice at the moment.

I really like the look of the pods on the A-pillar, maybe I can modify it to fit the gauges with the fat bezels.

 

@Boozng hey man, I dremelled the hell our of my lotek a pillar last night. I cut notches in the handle mount holes to accommodate the handle better, and trimmed the area beneath the handle to help it sit more flush. To for the x series gauges, I had to trim a LOT to get them to sit flush...I basically added two new holes above each section where the gauges mount. Looked like hell without the gauges in, looks fine with everything installed. My only issue is how the handle mates up to the pillar...oh well.

 

the red areas are spots I had to trim material from. Two spots on the handle area were notches, and the areas above the gauges are straight up holes. Each gauge hole had to be widened a little. You can't tell I did any cutting unless you're right up on the pod, and I can probably do something to clean it up a little at a later date. I'm happy with it.
