WRX guages in a leg?

Post by kidwired »

I found a deal on a wrx guage pod, it has boost, temp oil.

has anyone made this fit in a leg?
what size are the guages, so if I cant use the pod I could mnt them in an aftermarket cup/pod.


Anyone have a pic of these? the guy cant get his digicam working so I don really know what they look like.

A friend of mine put one of those pods in his 97 legacy, had to cut up the dash, but it was definitely worth it for the Defi gages it came with.

No he used the pod, but had to cut a hole where it mounts, right in the center of the dash.

Are Defis making the OEM guages or someone upgraded the guages?

Really?! I thought it would be kinda cool to use OEM stuff. It confuses people :D Ahh well the VDO visions were cheaper anyway.
