Good to see that sweet boost pod is now local!!!
How does it attach to the dash?


The boost gauge is attached to the dash with double sided tape.

And the Defi Link controller is in the glove box.

It does look really good and blends in very OEM but personally I much prefer having mine out of site if I choose to...same reason I have my boost controller in the glove box and not mounted on the dash...hidden away from prying eyes :assassin:

In reality it does look very subtle and OEM to the untrained eye. :wink:

The gauge colours match the dash.

And if you look through the front windscreen it matches colourwise very well.

It's better than some going around and I thought I should get with one as I've been caught out once with a boost spike issue.

Just looks a little "stuck" on, literally. :lol:

But is functional and as you said, there's worse.

Can't see how I can make it look less stuck on. I don't want to have to gap fill around it. :lol:

It's a leather covered pod so I won't be attempting to sand it.
