Pod pics. The top square is for my stinger volt meter. I think I will be able to put 5 on a pod if wanted. Once again, I will make one for an experienced volunteer who will change my timing belt when the time comes(87k right now)

I just finished my 4 gauge pillar pod and I'm getting everything around to hook up my gauges. First: Trans temp- is there a plug anywhere to screw the probe in. Or does any company make an aftermarket pan with a spilt for a probe already in it like the bigger diesel trucks have. I don't feel comfortable tapping a hole, but if it's my only option I will do it Second: Exhaust temp- same as above. I wanna go pre turbo and was leaning towards using a tap and dye set on the manifold. Third: Boost gauge- I'm ordering samco hoses and I saw somewhere on here that has plugs or something that will work to put a probe in. If anyone has a link, I would greatly appreciate it. On a side note. I can post pics of my fiberglass pillar pod that I made. I am wanting to make another one free of charge for whoever on here offers to change my timing belt when that time comes |

I keep plenty busy with car audio customers. If I do make any for money they would be $325 painted and shipped to your door. I know it seems pricey but I'm proud of my work and I have $100 in materials and 12 or so hours of labor in mine |

I suspect the link you are looking for relative to boost pressure is about 1/2 way down the discussion at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=51797&p=686170&hilit=boost+samco#p686170 |

Not volunteering but you might have better luck getting volunteers if you posted where you are located. |

Heck you would have plenty of room for as many gauges u wanted. I don't think it would block any view and you would still have your handle |

Just got all my gauges put in. I'm waiting on mandrel bent cac's to hook my boost gauge up. Once again, I will make a pillar pod for whoever provides the labor on my timing belt change.
