    Another question 4 everyone

    OK well first I wanted to get a boost gauge for my supercharger and figured id put another gauge in there. Nothing like a tach but air/fuel maybe. Mostly for looks I guess but the boost I would like to have and I figure two would look better than one. So this brings me to my first question how do you think I should mount them... I cant find the gauge pod on ebay anymore so any other ideas? And also which gauges do you think I should get? Well thank you for anyone that responds I appreciate your insight

    You could try finding the guys email and ask him... If you want to go more discreet, get some gauges where theres 2 compartments below ac control... I was building a custom gauge pod to fit in there, never got around to it since I wont need them for a while... I think there are some that fit on your dash as well, which u might be able to fit in comparment or on dash...

    I wont have much room there because my deck is gonna be down there when I get an lcd screen into the top compartment. The way my deck folds down there wouldnt be able to much underneath it. I was thinking about some type of pod maybe on top of the dash like right in the middle. Might look funny on our cars but I saw it on an MR-s and it looked tight.

    I'd say put it on the top of the dash, since the location yeye suggested is already taken and since you can't see a damn thing if you put them on the A-pillar. Aside from the boost gauge, I'd probably go with the A/F and probably an oil pressure gauge or maybe a voltmeter

    I have gauge pod holders for A-pillar (single, double and triple holes) and for dash (single and triple holes). These are made from ABS plastic and are paintable. All holders are universal and all holes are 2" in diameter. We have fitted many to Civics and Lancers here in Australia but not yet to Corolla 02 (your Corolla 03).

    If you are planning to install yourself I think you would need to be a very hands-on person. I have no plans on installing them into my Corolla but I have checked my items for fitment. A-pillar or dash install will work very well in my opinion. On the A-pillar there is a lot of clearance between the holder and the steering wheel should you wish to install it away from the front window.

    If you go to purchase a holder for A-pillar please check if the base (where the wires hang through) curves symetrical or asymetrical when viewed as if you were using/looking at the gauge(s) installed. Match this to the shape of your stock A-pillar for a neat install and less modification work.
