We dremel out the autometer 52mm pods to 60mm, and install any size gauge. since all of the wideband are 52mm, we mate the 52mm wideband with 60mm defi gauges....all on the same pod.

For a clean look, I'm going with 3 60mm gauges that will go in the stock location, then the innovate wideband on the dash on the left side of the steering wheel.... the 3 gauges are saga...boost, oil pressure, oil temp.

^ the innovate comes with a small stand, so on the dash. See the pic in the thread below to see what I mean:
