Looks great! And yes, I would say the supercharger rates just slightly above this mod haha.

Thanks for the pictures

How much of a difference in AC air flow before and after install? I need to feel the AC hit my arm or else I start to sweat no matter the temp inside the car...Its a psychological thing im aware.

To be honest the flow is reduced. I can still feel it, but it's more like cool air over my arm, and not directly blowing on my arm.. if that makes sense. It's almost like this pod diffuses the air, so it is no longer a direct stream, but just kind of blows it all around. So all in all the vent is still functional, but I don't think it will provide the feeling of blowing air over your arm.

I wish you could feel it in our car as I hate to say whether something will or will not work for a particular person, but I hope this helps you make a decision.

Thanks,
Rick

Actually that might end up looking very clean. Please post up a picture once you get it installed, I would love to see how it looks!

Thanks,

I installed this with a Defi oil pressure gauge ordered from you guys. Did it right after I installed my oil cooler. Looks almost Oem.

What I was planning on doing was removing one of the cups and install the tripod off center. The gauge would obstruct just the left buttons. Or maybe install on the other side... Or install vertically on the side and lift one of the cups to be visible.... The stock covers also have a small notch on the back on both right and left sides where i could screw in each cup... Theres actually alot o potential here

Cant wait to play with this

I recently installed my ATI Vent Pod and I have to agree, the flow is reduced but I can still feel it ... also it looks nice (:

It does look awesome and very OEM, but i just cant stand high flow from one side and low from the other. I practiced lol. I actually taped a round piece of cardboard in the place were the gauge would go. I found myself paying too much atention to it and it started to annoy me.

Its funny. It seems i bought my turbo so i could have gauges reading something cool lol! Ive spent double the time looking a gauges and mounting solutions than the time I took to properly research and decide on a FI setup!!

@RallySport Direct
I finally got it installed... No gauge yet though. Wanted to see how i finally mounted it to decide on gauge. Turns out that 2 pods was too much... It did look beautifull but the right pod blocked engine temp, gas level and all those warning lights that are on that side. I can see everything if i shifted my head to the left (i mounted extremley close to the edge to hae more visivbility of cluster) but i believe warning lights should warn you instantly and not when you decide to shift your head. So i just went with one pod an I think it looks sleek. Ill be ordering my failsafe now, Thank you!!! Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1385321456.513936.jpg

That looks great! And I never use the analog speedo, so a gauge in that position would be perfect for me.... hmm I really like this.

Good job and thanks for posting this up!
