From left to right it will presently be...

Autometer C2 gauges

Boost/Vac
Pyrometer EGT
Air/Fuel Ratio
Fuel pressure
Oil pressure

And in the A-Pillar
a trans temp gauge for my Automatic.

I would like to the Nexus line, but they didn't have all the options I wanted

And I'm still not completely set on the set-up above. I may not need a couple of those based on the information that my boost controller will be able to provide.

sooo... what five things are so incredibly important that you need gauges on the dash for them? i mean with a turbo or blower, you need boost gauge right? isnt there one in the dash? well, i guess you could do the autozone special, get the outside temp thermometer, the clock, the oil pressure gauge that you never hook up, the boost gauge that reads vacuum all hte time becase you have no forced induction, and finally the tranny tmp gague on your stock manual tranny... but then again, maybe you know something i dont know about driving, could be

Pod is back from upholstry. Couldn't get a dark charcoal color leather like the GM stock, so we just did the weakest black he had in stock. It looks pretty damn good.









I'll be painting the aluminum trim ring a little later, but's that's basically it.

Actually, that's what the trim ring is for. Besides for being structural for the gauge bezels, it will be painted to match the silver interior plastic.

EDIT:

I just realized you meant the pod itself should have been plastic instead of leather. I get it now. I thought about that, didn't like it. This is actually more durable and cleaner.

That looks sweet! Now you just need someone to crack the ECU and you can finish it all up.
