Boost Pods

[subzero]

looking to buy one but cant decide which one, pics would be helful :)

IMHO i think the steering wheel pod looks the best, if you look in my build thread you can see a picture of newsouth performance gauge in a steering column pod - ashtray is a bit pointless because that would mean looking straight down to see anything whereas pillar or wheel column or air vent it is in your peripheral vision or atleast easier to see without taking your eyes too far from the road.

Any ideas why i cant open it have notification to my email saying i have message but then just says Error,

I need a boost gauge in my life CRY

You can't read PM's until you have 10 posts mate.
Personally think the Boost gauge looks a lot more OEM when placed in right hand side air vent. Newsouth do a gauge which matches the blue light very well. Get posting bud

I've got a vent mounted one and the gauge matches the dash colours.

If you have highline clocks buy a Polar FIS. Digital readout and no pods poking out where they shouldn't  . If not I would go for the column mounted one.

i dont think mines high line TBH, i do like the air vent gauge, how easy was it to fit?

Does the Polar FIS Highline display completely overwrite the current Highline or is it just added into the current menu. Seems to be just a Plug and Play thingy if I'm correct? Sorry for highjacking this thread bud!

If I hadn't got my PogoAlert GPS speedo in that central topside, I might position my boost gauge there and along with oil temp gauge.

I have had my boost gauge in the air vent position but by far prefer it where it is now atop the steering column:







^ It's much easier to read the values as they whip around very fast indeed. It's in the line of sight with the rev counter - It's a no-brainer in my opinion.

....That's fine in theory but in practice it's much easier to read an analogue-style needle than a numeric display. The human brain can capture the hand/needle position abstractly and recognise a problem more quickly and easily and with less distraction from driving.

Try it - It's the same with the rev counter: You assess and make decisions based on the needle position more quickly than reading the number of revs.

....Just be aware that you may have to either slightly alter your seat height or lower your steering column so you can see your full beam headlights icon at night.
