This is why I am changing my pod. I initially wanted it to be stealthy in the dash gauges but you have to either pay attention to the road or pay attention to the gauges. This pod solves that.

Drilled? Installation requires drilling?

If we're running SC and not turbo, would a boost gauge still be recommended, or is boost creep not really an issue with an SC (thus checking boost be one of those items that could just as easily be left to the ODBII datalogging via Torque)?

On a base SC kit, not really needed. But if you're running a modded kit with a BOV or wastegate, then I'd suggest it just so you know it's not doing anything it's not supposed to.

A wideband AFR gauge should definitely be at the top of your list though.

Got the Defrost Pod. Looks REALLY well constructed. I haven't installed as I don't have the car right now. Will update with pics once installed.
