who here has done an A-pillar boost gauge for the 996tt

I really want to purchase the Defi Imperial BF gauge ~28lbs and control unit II. Is there a specific Universal single Pod that has been used or can someone point me in the right direction of what type of Pod to use on the a-pillar so it doesnt look terrible. thanks in advance

I have a black leather 3 pod gauge I'm going to intsall. It's not rice - it's race . Still trying to figure out what gauges and what data logging system - looks like a winter project.

I'm confused. The A-Pillar is THE only visible option. That's the primary reason for using the A pillar. What would you suggest to be a better location for gauges in relation to visibility?

pillar mounted gauges are located in a much more ideal location than the center console in front of the stick shift. atleast in terms of ability to read the gauge much more accurately and not haveing to turn your head away and off the road.

another problem with center console mounted gauges is they are not mounted ideally towards the driver site for an accurate reading.
