will a gauge fit here has anyone ever done this?

[gtpeddie]

so i have a 2 pillar gauge pod with oil pressure and boost, i am looking into getting the 3 pillar pod because i want to get a aeroforce interceptor scan gauge soon but i also want to get a air/fuel gauge to so i was thinking about doing this but i don't know if it will fit

I want to take the HUD switch and move it from here..........




To here. do you think a gauge will fit in the old HUD switch spot?




what do yous think? got the idea of moving the HUD switch from z3r0 he moved his to make his push button start

ive seen them there before, i think the hardest part is making room behind to make them fit; i think, idk im sure im wrong

[gtpeddie]

i never seen one i thought it would be something different and neat maybe add my oil pressure gauge there because our cars didn't come with one lol

I know z3r0 put his HUD controls there.

you'd have to cut it right so that the gauge faces up so you can see it instead of just sliding it in, cause there kinda angled down alittle bit

It will fit. You may have to remove some plastic behind that as well, depending how deep the gauge you're putting there is. People dont usually put them there because it is hard to see it down there, and you have to take your eyes so far off the road to look at it. Definitely not the place for an aeroforce. Maybe move the boost gauge down there because that gauge is really only useful for troubleshooting problems.

i was thinking of my oil pressure one there. what do you think? im not really looking at it while driving

That was gonna be my second option, but I actually keep an eye on that one. Ive saved a motor in the past by noticing an oil pressure drop. You dont need to keep an eye on the boost/vac gauge. The only thing its really useful for is to tell you if you have a vac leak.

true ill have to think about it and take it apart and see how difficult/easy it would be

After having a bunch of gauges...I'm more of a minimalist. Get the aeroforce..it reads boost and will do AFR as well. One gauge.. replaces possible 3
