Dual Gauge Pod for center console - Anyone sell/make them?

Looking to throw a boost gauge and AFR in the center console. Currently, I have a cubby where the ipod sits... I'd like to replace it.

I came across a few posts where people made their own, but I figured someone might have a recommendation on where I can place an order for one.

Here is what I am after (this was from a member on rennlist)



Thanks!

I suppose I just need a bezel, nothing fancy. The gauges have mounting studs on the back that you can attach a washer to in order to secure them to the bezel.

I think I'll get Evo's and add a water temp gauge. Good thing to have when it's 119 outside, lol.

Pick up one of AEMs new wideband AFR and Boost gauge in one, they are pretty sweet. They have some pretty serious data logging capability too.

AEM gauges are nice units. Question on install and o2 wideband sensor location. Do you guys buy only one gauge/sensor setup and monitor only one exhaust bank? If only one, which exhaust bank do you monitor, drivers or passenger side? Or do you get two sets and monitor each individually?

I had the same question and was told it doesn't matter.. but I feel otherwise

going to have a bung installed in each cat, not sure about doing 2 sensors... would need two gauges i'd imagine.

running 1 sensor or 2 will still only be an average of the bank side of the engine. if you want to know whats really going on egt sensors in each cylinder is the way to go

Agree, the best way is egt on each individual cylinder or use Kevin's (UMW) datalogger for individual cylinder knock (pretty slick). But for now a good measure (since i technically don't have none) is to monitor the drivers side and the passenger side individually (1 wideband sensor for each side). I was looking for the 2gen Dgauge, but I can't find it anywhere since its no longer being made.

There are wide band kits that have two banks, I only have it on one side.
Nice! Mind posting pictures of your setup for those of us looking for ideas
