    I had found on here a company that makes a mounting bracket/pod that will fit two guages. It fit just behind the stearing column, but in front of the stock guages. Well I can not find the link. Has anyone else seen this on here?

    I've got a DM-100 w/ 2 wideband sensors and a boost sensor routed to it. I'm waiting on getting back some of the pieces from PLX to have the total package running...i'm going to take one of the gauge pods off I think...or maybe add another display...We'll see.

    I seem to get a lot of comments on this set up. Its a little pricy, but the quality and experience with customer service was well worth it. The pod is the flex pod sold by URD and is branded Craven Speed. The gauges were customized and ordered from Speedhut (check out their site) and the Wideband stuff is from PLX devices.

    Thanks for the responce. The guages in that dash pod really look sharp. Let me ask you, What is the wide range guage used for? I am looking to put a oil pressure and a transmission temp guage in mine. I am going to be pulling a trailer and need to watch those functions.

    For keeping an eye on air/fuel ratio to make sure things are not running lean. Forced induction shoves more air into the engine and we need to make sure our fuel system is keeping up to par.

    Its also used for tuning as being too rich can cost horse power also..... I'd rather be rich than lean, and that's as true for my engine as it is for my person ;)


    Still working out the kinks on the my person part tho.


    As for ur trans temps, u can monitor those by buying a Scangauge.... U can also monitor other items such as engine temp as a real world value of 180-190 degrees instead of " somewhere between the red mark and the C mark"

    The scan guage that I have looked does not monitor Trans Temp. Plus I am old school, I like the look of a old school guage on the dash, or in this case in the pod

    OK

    I have a trans value on the linear logic scan gauge 2 and a few others have 2 readouts.

    But if u prefer a dedicated gauge, remember that there's 2 sensors already.
