I'll post pics of them installed and on this coming week.

Still running the same 2 gauges? Failsafe and oilpress/temp?

Where are you routing the sensor wiring to the cabin... Through firewall?

I dont see what u did wrong. But it looks good and the gauges match up during the day. Not bad.

Any tips for install mine is on the way.

I needed to enlarge the hole for the cables in the pod because the Failsafe and the Innovate both include a fair amount of cables and thick to boot (thats what she said).

Set the pod in place and test fit the gauges so you know the correct angle to set them (there is a strip of double sided tape that will hold them in whatever palce you initially set them to).

I had an issue with the Innovate gauge (in this pod and other pod so the problem is the gauge) that it is smaller than 52 mm. To fix it, put a few mm of black tape around it and it will fit snug.

The actual vent needs to be cut in order to route the cables (not a big deal and you will understand once you take the vent cover and look).

I think thats it.

Awesome. How much bigger did u have to make the hole? How much of vent did you have to cut? Innovate market these as 52mm wierd that their smaller.

It would be a bit of trial and error but I enlarged it as far as I could go without breaking it. The vent you will see right away the side pointing to the cluster needs to be cut. I also cut a portion on the bottom of the pod to not need to cut the vent too deep down.

I agree on the gauge, don't know if mine was manufactured bad or what, but I needed foam tape to make it stay still on the other pod and black electric tape on this one.

I have a similar setup, except I went with the ATI vent pod for the Innovate and then the Block8head for AEM Failsafe. I'm just waiting for the blockhead mount to arrive

How does it look with the silver rings instead of black rings on the gauges? I was torn on that one because of the stock silver trim
