Are you talking about this gauge:

I believe it's a standard 52mm gauge. You can buy a stand alone shell and mount for it and attach it to the top of your dash somehow or you can put it into a pillar pod if you have a second gauge to put in there.

Yes! thats the one xviper.....I already have 2 gauges in my pillar pod. I was thinking of mounting the AEM gauge between the 2 gauges in the pod. Using something like this from Defi. I thought maybe AEM made something similar...? Thxs for your help!!

I had mine in an Autometer shell and bracket which I mounted to the top of the dash right next to the pillar pod. Since then, I eliminated one of my gauges (I had 4) and I now put the more valuable, UEGO, (and higher "steal" factor) of the gauges into the pillar pod. I put one of the cheaper gauges in the shell that's still stuck to the dash. I also have oil pressure and boost.

Do you think the Defi fitting kit would work? Or Defi's 52mm meter cup?? thxs!

Or this one http://www.streetrays.com/catalog/product_...roducts_id/6744
I'm sure the outer casing will fit. The final decision about how to attach it to the inside of your car must still be made.

This is kinda what i was thinking...

Mounting the AEM gauge on the pillar pod some how. Maybe using the Defi fitting kit. And then mount the other 2 gauges on the right side in Defi's cup holders and use double sided tape to hold them down to the dash top.

Id appreciate your/everyones feedback! thxs!



ps...sorry for the crappy picture

Depending on how low you sit in your seat, your line of sight may be impeded with it attached to the pillar pod. I've got mine on the dash but right next to the pillar pod.
