Default Very dissapointed with intense power

As some of you may know my car is at japtrix getting the TT installed. Well I ordered about 3 weeks ago from Intense power their 3 gauge pillar. The thing is that i have the DEFI BF imperial boost gauge which is 60mm and a innovate 52mm A/F gauge. But their gauge pod is made for 52mm. They said they can modify it to accept 60mm. Well long story short it takes them 2 weeks to send the gauge pillar, then when i try to fit the boost gauge in the 60mm it wont fit but it wont fit by alot its way off. So im like awsome i call them they tell me no it fits you just have to shove it in their. The tech tried, no way it would have crack the gauge pod and to top it off the innovate 52mm would not fit either. So now i have to send it back and get my money back or get a new one.

My question is which of you guys are running 60mm gauge pod pillars on the z and were did you by them from. Let me know please.

All you have to do is dremel the hole to accomadate. I dont believe anybody makes a 60mm pod, everybody does this and it works fine. If it was too tight your mechanic should have the sense to at least run the idea by you of dremeling the pod out to fit the guage, its a 2 min job...

It takes 52mm gauges...there is a lot of extra material there though...

Yep, and the shop I used seemed to have no problem with installing that gauge pod.

It is one of the better gauge pods I have seen and I have seen some really jacked up ones LOL.

I have the autometer but it needed to be modified as well. I have the Defi BF in standard or metric i guess..
