    GU Pillar Pods

    I suppose most have probably already read my other post about GU Tuning.

    Well before i can do that i need some gauges. Well i have settled on the VDO brand as they are easy to read. I had autometer gauges in my GQ and they were crap.

    Anyway i need a pillar pod, now i havent seen the extreme limits type in person but there are a few comments on ebay saying they are over priced and very flimsy and occasionally dont fit properly. I think there brand is autron.

    Does anyone have any first hand experience with them or have another good brand to buy.

    Please dont comment if your going to ramble on saying pillar pods are illegal.

    GU Pillar Pods

    I have the Autron pillar pod with Autron EGT/ Boost and dual volt gauges. The I would say is very good, you can barely tell its aftermarket. Only the very top is not perfect with a 2-3mm gap, which I think it's where they removed the old one and push the roof in a bit. See photo.

    PS: mines in a GU8.

    GU Pillar Pods

    Nope. Sam-Leo is the guy I got the gauges from, on EBay, good guy to deal with. Got the pod from the same mob as Threedogs got his from.
