Default HELP- Defi or anyaftermarket 60mm gauges installation at center console location

Hi, is there anyone here who has any 60mm aftermarket gauges installed the center console oem pod locations? Base on some of the threads I've read. A 60mm Defi gauge would fit into the pod. But, there isn't any DIY post about it. Also, I have test fitted with a 60mm Blitz BL boost gauge(I haven't got a Defi) with an 06-08 interior trim. However, none of the pods had enough clearance for the gauge. The first pod from the left of the gauges(closest from the driver side) could almost accommodate the whole gauge. However, there was still a bit of it sticking out. I then tried the other two. They actually all fitted differently with each one progressively less forgiving in accommodating it.


Ok, so for those who have the *experience*/ the *knowledge* about this.

Pls elaborate.

Do all 60mm Defi gauges fit in the OEM triple gauge pods of the center console?
Does it require any cutting/modification or is it a direct drop in?
Had anyone installed any 60mm aftermarket gauges other then Defi in the OEM triple gauge pods?
If possible, could you provide photos for your DIY?

Thank you.

Gentlemen, don't be shy... I am sure there should be more than a handful of people here who have the knowledge and experience of this installation. Any information/photos will be appreciated.
