Here's a few pics of the boost gauge and pod installed guys.

I'm extremely happy with how it turned out. :mrgreen:

nice work Rusty, looks good and is a good alternative for the people who have sat nav (no cubby option)

if you dont mind me asking how much the pod was? im considering doing it myself :)

also how hard was the install? im weighting up the option if its worth doing a self install or taking to a pro

cheers

Adam.
I was originally looking into getting a gauge pod through AVO, but they don't seem to be stocking/making them at present/anymore.
So I looked around E-bay and found a guy in the UK making them for WRX's, so I grabbed one of these and did a little remodeling. :mrgreen:
As for the installation of the gauge, it was a time consuming task but not really difficult.
I haven't hooked any wiring up to it yet, I'll get that done by an Auto Electrician friend of mine.
Below is an e-bay link to the gauge pods, and a link to a gauge install from the US Legacy Forum.

I didn't follow the boost gauge installation to a tee, just used it for a little bit of guidance.

Hope this helps Adam.
Cheers,
Rusty.

Nice work Rusty, nice and low and out of the way tucked up in the corner of the screen.

I am thinking of installing one myself, I have a spare guage and A'pillar mount here somewhere that I may need to modify/re-shape to fit.

Looks good, Rusty! Good work! Can't wait to see it hooked up and lit up at night! :D
