Custom Gauge Action

New gauge and other stuff holders - extra room next to the turbo timer/boost controller is there for leds and switches for the methanol and other random stuff that will fill the space.
The extra boost gauge is just a placeholder for the pic. Didn't have any more gauges to throw in there.

*claps* That's pretty sweet. Aside from the silver bezels that looks fairly oem.

I like it, but I don't think I could live without my AC.
You could really screw with our heads with that broken boost gauge.
13psi is pushing it hard with a KLZE.

Hope to see you soon on the road.

It's a fully built motor now. I agree, 13psi si pushin git on a ZE. I ran 13psi for a few days on my ZE and then an accidental boost spike past 15psi kinda knocked it out. It made way for the built motor though.

That looks nice. Any build pics of the center guage holder? I am thinking of doing one similar. The A pillar pod that I have looks nice, but kills the left side view and is making my seeing corner apexes, entry points and exits at the races difficult. I don't have AC so the cener vent is not that important and the side two will work fine for the vent and heat.
Anyway, nice clean job. Looks great.

Sorry, no build pics.

There was an auction on ebay awhile back for a gauge pod for the vents that someone made as a one off. I got it for $20 but it was totally useless. The holes were all in the wrong place and it made the gauges point straight up. So I brought that piece and the stock AC vents to the fiberglass lady down here and she cut new holes in the piece I got from ebay, reglassed over the hole thing, and made hoods to come out for the gauges so we could put them in the right place.
