Autometer nexus. Had to wrap the gauges in tape to pressure fit them, and they fit like a champ, no dash rubbing. Make sure you're positioning the pod far enough forward too.

You have to position the pod far enouth from dash. I used 3 different types of gauges installing the pod and all of the fitted fine. I used SLM gauges, AutoGauge, and DW gauges.
Heres how the SLM gauges fit and look:

whats the actual name of dw gauges?
i have this doggy's triple gauge pod sitting in my trunk. I have an n/a engine. The only thing I would need to monitor would be oil pressure, oil temperature, and voltage, because I plan on running a small lightweight battery. What do you think thats all I really need right???

You dont really even need that unless your going for looks. Turbos run gauges because if your pressure or temp goes up or down even a little your turbo may get fried, with a NA if doesnt matter because the light will come on when the pressure is low, and the temp is usually fine. Voltage however is a great gauge, i bought a little electric unit that shows the time, outside and inside temp, and my voltage all on one screen, and its fairly accurate as well.

oil pressure is probably not necessary haha I see what your doing here Andrew your just pointing out things So i can sell you my gauge pod.
yes as I said voltage due to the fact that I will be getting a small battery, and Oil temp for when I go to the track with my 99 gt celica muahaha. So I just might sell it to you Andrew just maybe.

I'm also doin hella crap to my radio so I would need to get the center part off an on
The gauge pod sits on the dash though? And double sided tape doesnt weld it to the dash haha.
but i would have to replace the tape almost everytime i take the guages off
Do you plan to take them off on a regular basis? Cause then id recommend not getting this type of pillar haha.

I want those!
