AEM A/F and Boost in the A-Pillar

 

I drilled 2inch(for 52mm prosport gauges)holes in my dash and it looks sick if you can live with that lol

 

i've seen it in person on my friend's car. i'm going to quote your sig by saying:

 

 

i have two gauges. A serial gauge and tru-boost controller. Both by AEM, and are located on the A-Pillar. I am however, looking to relocated them onto the dash by the bottom of the A-pillar for even more of a sleeper look.

 

Spec ops, how hard was it to have them mounted into the dash? That's my ideal setup. Or do you think electronics shops would be willing to do it? I'm only going to be running a wideband and boost gauge. It looks great by the way.

 

Thanks.


Its very easy to mount the gauges in the dash. Mark the areas, use a hole saw and drill them out. Finally wire them up and your done

I'd just do it yourself, I bet shops would charge a good amount as most people probably think its hard to do.

 

Did you only put the gauges in there or did you have some sort of round clamp or something to hold them in place? and how hard was it to drill it out? did you take the dash apart?

I suck at doing this kind of stuff which is why I'm always willing to pay for it to get it done. I'm not very crafty at all =[

 

the gauges have a simple backing plate that holds them into place (although they won't move anyway as they are very snug).

Just remove your passenger airbag (so you can see what your doing back there) and drill out holes using a hole saw.

 

Although I admire the work that's been done by some of you and I mean no offense, but the gauges in the dash creeping toward the passenger side is not the ideal location, same with the radio door gauges.

Gauges should be located in an area that provides the ability to be observed without having to remove your eyes from the road for too long.

The A pillar is the ideal location, but can only hold two, maybe 3 if you design your own pod. I like the steering wheel pod, very nice, the only thing I can't tell is if you're sitting, are you at an angle that allows you to see the OEM cluster or is it a restricted view?

If you're going to do it, design it like a cockpit, invest some money into reshaping things, not drilling, cutting, taping and screwing things onto what's already there. Sorry, Spec_Ops, that AFR gauge looks like ass just sitting there with a screw on bracket.
