Default steering mount gauge pod...anyone using it?

I have my guages for FI mounted on the A pillar but Cali law enforcement is comming down hard on cars with mods....even if they burn cleaner than stock. The A pillar gauges scream "FI...pull me over" so I am thinking of going with a the gauge pod that mounts on the collumn to be a little more stealth. Any feedback from a user of this product would be great. Thanks- Jim

The steering column gauge pod is too shallow and obstructive. I don't know anyone that uses it.

But here's a few popular options you might wanna try:

I think Sharif had the ATI gauge pod for the steering column and if I recall correctly, he said it basically sucked.

I have the ATi Steering Column Pod. I'll post pics when i get home.

Alot of the negative feedback came from pre-production models that had issues. HOWEVER. Even the current one takes some dicking around with to get it nice. You absolutely have to run an electric guage since it's way to shallow for any mechanical.

EDIT: Here is one. I'll get a closeup when i get home.

I don't personally like to run vacuum lines that far, get an electrical gauge

The mounting depth. People you really have to screw around with it BUT you can get it perfect. People just like to *****.

I'm running two XD16's which are quite skinny.

Much appreciated. What did you have to do in terms of modifying to get the pod and gauges to fit "well"?
