I have had a hell of a time trying to find some or to get some some common sesnse out of anyone over here in WA WA land. Does anybody of know of any electric blue background lighten boost and oil pressure gauges available in Aus that will fit straight into the factory pods. No I don't want a gauge comparo, or to go for a triple gauge setup. Any distributor name would be appreciated.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fpv pod is ribbed internally at 52.5mm diameter. The bezel of the FPV gauges clips onto the front of the std gauge which is made by VDO. Interesting enough I had a vdo gauge in the shed and it fits straight in and the bezel clips straight on . So maybe try VDO. I was going to do the same as you but pole position 3 pod are $105 at the moment so I bought one, and I like old school so Iam fitting autometer gauges. If you want blue the cobalt ones are nice.

VDO don't do an electronic boost gause and I can't justify wasting money for the cobalt ones @$350 each. I'll spend whatever to make the car go better, but gauge shops seem to be full of people who have very litle product knowledge and want to charg rediculous amounts of money. I think I'll wait for my next US trip to bother about this one as I was really only doing it for the looks no gauge setup is worth $1000+ when you already have factory ones anyway IMHO, I wasted a day on this I thought it should be easier enough to just buy 2 better quality exchange units that went straight in. Isn't idealism a great thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
