So as some of you know i'm supercharging my car. Or as some of you know it might be done HINT HINT lol. So i wanted to mount my boost gauge on my steering wheel cause my triple gauge pod didn't have space. Since i mounted my voltage gauge, fuel pressure, and wideband a/f gauge. I was gonna mount it in my ash tray but im mounting my Safc there. So i looked at a few pictures online and brainstormed some stuff down. Making my own pod. So i went to home depot and purchased about a foot long off 2" pvc piping, some black spray paint, some black cloth light duck tape feels like carbon fiber lol, a 2" Galv clip, some small black screws, and a can of clear coat. Now for the pictures. ( Pod isnt 100 percent down im flush mount it a lil bit more when its not freezing cold outside)


Beats paying $20 for a gauge pod lol Compared to under $4 @ home depot



2" Galv Clip to hold pvc piping into place on the steering column


Auto-Meter Sport Comp Boost/Vac Gauge


I started by cutting the pvc piping after i measured how much I would need for the gauge and how much i would need to clear the column. Cut about 3 1/2 inch's not exact but around there



Then i took the Galv Clip and started to wrap the carbon fiber feel like tape around it.

Galv Clip Finished doesnt look that bad i took a lighter to shrink the tape around the corners



Back to the pvc pipin i sprayed the first coat of black after i sanded it down with 600 grit sandpaper


Last coat of black before I applied the clear

And here I was hoping you were just a hardcore racer and knew enough to say screw asthetics and instead purposely tilted it so that max boost is in a straight vertical line for easy reading........
