My turbo spider needs better instruments...
I am running wastegate actuated boost at the moment, but will need a boost gauge once I start tuning boost. My Air/Fuel gauge is currently mounted on a pod to the left of the steering wheel. However, since my HVAC is already gone, the vents aren't doing anything other than taking up space. Thought they would be a perfect place for some gauges (thinking AFR/Boost/Oil Temp).
Anyhoo... Has anybody had luck with aftermarket gauges installed in the vent spots? Is there a commonly available size that fits or did you construct a shim of some sort? Alternatively, is it possible to backdate to the early S3 upper trim piece that is designed to have 3 gauges in there? If so, what size gauges would fit in that space?
