A-Pillar Gauges

**blownh2x** · 04-08-2010, 11:02 AM

I want to purchase an A-Pillar triple gauge pod and not sure which gauges to get. I like the look of the glowshift brand stuff, but never really heard of them before. Looking for the black background that lights up red like the factory gauges in the T/A. Also what gauges would you recommend me getting - wideband, etc.

woooah partner .....what are your mods ?

i wil be going with autometer full sweep gauges when i get the money (it is low on my list anyways)

i personally will get a fuel pressure gauge, a AFR wideband (from the lm-1 i will buy at the time also), and a transmission temp( as i am a auto and after i get my stall(next mod) i will need to keep track of my trans temp).

i would say universally a fuel pressure gauge is a must. most go with a AFR also..dont cheap out on those either...if you are going to get one..make sure it gives you the actually reading...not that stoich, lean shit

Subscribed. I am interested in a dual gauge pod for fuel pressure and wideband a/f.

Mods are:

Tuned using Diablo Predator

Hot Cam
LS6 Springs
LS6 Intake
Melling HP Oil Pump
LT Headers
ORY (no cats)
SLP dual dual exhaust
EGR Delete
160 Stat
Short Shifter
Hotchkins suspension components

Could definitely spend the money on a rear end gear, but love the pillar gauges.

I'm a M6, so I didn't see the need. If I was auto I would be all over it.

Not as important as it is to an A4, but I was just putting an idea out there.

**shady milkman** · 04-08-2010, 06:25 PM

oil temp. fuel temp? rpm ?

**blownh2x** · 04-08-2010, 06:26 PM

oil temp I was contemplating on

**ls1camino** · 04-09-2010, 02:03 AM

I have a Wideband, Fuel Pressure, and Nitrous Bottle Pressure on my A-Pillar and a Tach/Shiftlight Mount right in front of my stock tach. All are digital Nordskog Gauge, except for the tach, that's an Autometer.

I have since VHT'd the glass for the Nitrous Gauge (bottom A-pillar) so it matches...turned out real nice actually.

**Tman** · 04-09-2010, 02:47 AM

boost and fuel pressure are the only ones I run

**0verkill** · 04-09-2010, 08:10 AM

i am putting in a/f widebane, feul press. and the level 2 shift lite and tack from auto meter.

**00z28bubba** · 04-10-2010, 09:52 PM

gonna put in the wideband a/f, tranny temp, and fuel pressure probably when i start to really play with my car.

So far the Trans temp guage i got from them looks nice. Im not doing an Apillar pod yet but will once i go FI. Im sticking the Trans temp int he Drivers side Vent. The only thing is that if you get all Glowshift guages, they are 52mm gauges so make sure the pillar pods holes are too or you might need to get a guage adaptor to fit it in there. I had to get one form Speedinc for the vent but it looks good still. Ill post up a pic of the guage installed when i get done with my Stall install
