I'm sure it's clean now.

If anyone knows where to find the triple cubby ones let me know!

While I was looking at subarugenuineparts.com for a door lock actuator, I stumbled across the triple ones there. Not sure about compatibility, but I'd imagine they'd fit.

Also a few links to other options in case anyone is interested...

I was doing a google image search looking for a good gauge mount and found something similar to the PROVA vent mount, but somewhat deeper(?):
The Block8head vent gauge mount via LGT:

I PM'd the manufacturer, a CAD guru, and got an immediate reply that he would be interested to make these in RHD if there was enough interest from members here.
Planning on offering a Gen4 one-size-suits-all single pod for starters... Read the thread ^^^, some drilling is required of the inner vent.
More details coming, we'd hope to get these delivered to you for around $100 which is comparable, or better than the current alternatives.
If not let me know! More info on what Block8head offers here

I'll check with the vendor if, once the tooling for the RHD vent is done, its possible to split the order between single and dual pods.
The USA LGT GB was all 52mm guages, 60mm is more popular in Europe apparently.

If you'd like to express interest please PM me using the button over there under my profile pic >>>
Let me know your preference for gauge size and single or dual pods.
I've nutted out how to manage GB PM's (don't change the message title please) :wink:

EOI's:
bigBADbenny single 52mm
Zaccy182
paggaz single 52mm

Gauge pods look ghey, sorry Benny.

THE best option IMO.....

Of course you're right, but I have a gauge to mount and having driven Bruce's car with the PROVA, it was fine with the gauge there!
I think I was concentrating on other things :shock:

If there's no interest, I'll chop the main vent or try the AVO.

Or ditch the AEM failsafe and go GTBoostgauge and Innovate LC-1 :wink:

Not sure if this is the right place to post but interested in getting the stepper gauge in the bellow link (will match the dash nicely);

Not keen on spending big dollars so this seems good for my needs.
Before i purchased just wanted some opions on this type of gauge, ease of install etc.
Plan on mounting it in the cubby.
Thanks guys

When you drive a $60,000.00 vehicle it is essential that you spend more than $60.00 on a boost gauge!

Hahahahaha! Love this kid!

Nah, we're not taking the piss... I'm just saying you have a nice car... Treat it to some good parts... Even if you can't afford it now save up until you can and buy a good one... That's why my car has taken 5 years to build lol!

lol naa man understand completely ! i'v never been one to do things half assed, but thought as i only have a tune with no major mods that any gauge would do the job, the worst this can do is stop giving a correct reading yer? and by then if somthing is wrong with the boost i would feel it with or without the gauge. Will shop around though
