Boost gauge is easy to fit, I did look @ oil temp and pressure but gave up after finding the plug was seized on the filter housing

ive found a tripple pillar pod on the bay.. boost gauge im ok with..what others are worth dropping in there and how hard are they to do?? i.e .. volts.... vacume..water temp..oil temp..which would be best?? im obviously putin a boost gauge thats the only reson i want it really but which of the others would be easier?? :-/

is it a direct fit or a universal one? cuz ive been looking for ages for a A-Pillar triple gauge holder

Well it is easy to check, look on the pillar cover and see if it says airbag anywhere, doubt it will have them, my Octavia is 01 and does not have them.

glad this has cropped up i will be fitting my boost and volt gauge this week as feeling a lot better now, ive found the link for fitting boost gauge on here which is good, but im looking for a very simple place to tap into for 12v from the ignition as my gauges are both smoked and light up when car is running, so i need a simple place to pick up 12v if anyone can help if not i was just going to run a wire from radio as that must be the easy route i can fit radios and amps and do little jobs but im no auto electrition any help guys would be appreciated and pics of where would be even better heres what im fitting gauge holder is very nice and perfect fit but £32 for a bit of plastic so it should, its cost me over £100 for all the stuff to fit but should look the dogs when installed, heres my pod and gauges. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
