I think the WRX vents are even 60mm, so it may even be possible to stick a WRX vent in one of the holes on that set up. Here's a pic of the other way around, where someone stuck a gauge in the vent similar to your idea.

Now that I think about it this is exactly what I'll be doing.

I like how you cut and pasted the solenoid down there by the gas cap release! The solenoid goes between the turbo and the wastegate and basically throttles the pressure generated by the turbo that actuates the wastegate so you can basically boost up to 30 psi with this kit.

Just poking fun is all ;)

Holes are 52. Its not posible to fit 60 without midification do dash it self.. Still thinking about vents... Even if i would make them - they would be small - and not posible to close them... Just holes on the sides..

Would it be possible to have a 1-gauge pod and keep one of the two original vents (swap it from the the OEM panel)? With a N/A engine, all you really need is oil temp anyway and the passenger (aka "the GF") can keep a vent on her side.

There will be single gauge pod pretty soon too. It will be dash mounted - keeping all the vents in place.

He was saying he could set boost on the fly lol. I figured this is where he was going with it.

Yeah you can set it via the gauge itself, it has two push buttons on the face. That's why I am looking for a good mounting solution so that its within reach.

Should be easy to mount if to the existing pillar. Temporarily. And then get the single pod when it comes out.

I think the best idea would be a retrofit into the actual gauge cluster of the car. The analog speedo is 99.9% worthless anyways, just cram 2-3 gauges in place of that thing.

If you do insert vents, will the choice of vents be directional?

I like the design of the pod in the middle. I will definitely be up for one once they are ready. It is a bit rounded as another member mentioned. Will it be tweaked?

Kinda annoying that legit gauge pods aren't out by now.....

Yes - thats the problem :( If i will do vents - they will be straigh front and not posible to adjust...

As for the roundness - you will see that its not that 'round' from all the different angles. It flows into whole interior once its in paint ;)
