Pillar pods

[Cuppa]

Does anyone know of a pillar pod for a single gauge to suit a GU, one that is a replacement for the original pillar ‘skin’?

[Winnie]

No mate never seen them. I take it you want an egt gauge to go with the new exhaust?
I would suggest to get a dual pod and add a boost gauge

[MudRunnerTD]

Yep I run a dual pillar pod with a Boost and EGT guage

[Paule]

Yeah I've got the dual pillar pod also, I didn't see any single ones when I was looking around for mine.

[Cuppa]

Yeah thinking about a boost & EGT. Also want to keep ‘clutter’ in the cab to a minimum so a combined gauge appeals. I did buy a VDO boost gauge ages ago, but really quite like the Redarc combined gauges. Cheaper to buy a single gauge too, but I I’m not keen on something stuck on top of the dash or on the steering column in front of the speedo & rev counter.

I like the way you think Cuppa.
I have also been looking for a single pillar pod since I saw the Autron (now Redarc) combined EGT & Boost gauge.
However, I have only been able to find single gauge cups that mount on the dash and some generic ones that clip on the A pillar trim, but none with the same profile as a GU A pillar.
The search continues......

if you find one cuppa can you put up a link please

I have a car that I wanted to mount gauges in, nothing available off the shelf either, so I found myself another pillar trim, some generic cups, and I made my own...
Just an idea.
Worked out cheaper too and looks factory, fits perfectly too.

That definitely requires some pics & maybe even a ‘how to’ Evo.

What I'm using .. actually thinking about a 3 pod, EGT, Boost, and direct water temp. The pillar pod doesn't seem to be as intrusive as the intercooler scoop .. 52795

Show off! :)
A fair bit of investment there. I can’t believe how much gauges cost!
Does it create any greater blind spot?

Nope, you'll soon forget they are there.

I bought one from the States and the other from merlin motorsports in the UK, good service from Merlin.

The pod I found on the net, probably eBay.

I'm not a show-off, other wise I would have leather seats PMSL

I don't really notice a blind spot but need to put a dimmer on them for night driving.

[FNQGU]

Yeah, if you get the Autron/Redarc guages, buy the optional dimming unit that goes with them. I found mine to be way too bright at night unless dimmed right down.

[GU8LE]

Hi Macca,

I'm researching some pillar pods and redarc gauges. As mentioned before about the dimmer control where about did you mount the dimmer and was it an easy fit?

Cheers.

[macca]

I havnt done anything yet, its a gunna job :thumbup:

[GU8LE]

cheers Macca and thanks for the quick reply.
