I'm thinking about going with Auto Meter NEXUS Gauges, A/F wideband, and Boost. Plus the required sensor and remote.

But what do you guys think of the ePod steering column gauge mount for two gages, or the regular A-pillar mount?

These two gages, plus the Utec should be good right?

shud be good to go. haha luck s/c no need boost controller and dont need to worry about boost creep too much. im running twin turbo and went the cheat way by getting a aem tru boost. so i have a boost gauge and controller all in one . saves on cost dramaticly. so rather than paying 800 for a gauge and a ebc you get both for like 345 shipped

Are you talking about a guage pod setup close to the twin pods I have on the column? I decided to not keep mine because it blocked too much of the Tach and Speedo. If you are going with only 2 I think they have a setup where it goes in the cuby.

The one drawback is that it's not really at eye level. You will need to take your eyes off the road to scan for information. I've also seen some linked up to display screens where they run virtual gauges, pretty slick setup.

Thats the good thing about the Defi system. They have that HUD system that projects on the wintshield. You dont even take your eyes off the road. Which is something even looking at the factory spedo you have to do. Only briefy though.

^^^I thought Defi discontinued the HUD.

I thought it was a pretty nice setup, but there are a whole lot of others out there that just kick ***.

Boston, Blitz has some pretty neat stuff. Take a look at what else is out there.

Punish_her, my bad, looks like Defi still has a HUD, just marketing under VSD.
