id like to incorporate a couple of things

1.still have the vents be functional

2.room for 3 gauges ---boost,oil pressure,possible trans temp....if i can make the wideband work like lxogood did ...if i do i the way he did i might be able to use 3 gauges and the wideband

Hey, J. You will fit all 3 no problems. The only thing I would do different for my center air vents is to make the 2 air vent holes more smooth and not so squarish cutouts like that....

The guy making it was in a hurry but I am gonna tell him to fix it later...

As for wideband sensor, you can either use the AEM one which is cheap, or the best one which would be FJO.

I've always gone with the Innovative Motorsports wideband in the past. The new AEM isn't a bad choice either.

I've also been debating on where to mount the gauges for my turbo install comin up (gettin in back July 23rd hopefully) and was going to try and get an idea for where I'm going to put the gauges and maybe even have something made before I ship it off so they can just pop the gauges in for me. I saw the Kazz-Sports gauge pod like JT has, but of course it's only for RH drive vehicles so I considered making something similar myself with fiberglass or something. I've also considered trying to make a custom pillar pod from fiberglass and having it carpeted to match the stock interior. Anyone have any other ideas on where to mount a couple gauges without chopping up the stock interior too much? I'd like to keep the car looking as close to stock as possible inside (don't have to have those center vents, but I do enjoy the clock right there ). I plan on putting the Blitz Power Meter and SBC side-by-side in a custom mount to take the place of the Homelink system in the overhead console, may be a bit too wide but I'll make it fit. It's nice up there cause it can also be recessed a bit and angled down towards the driver (remove the Homelink and you can see what I'm talkin about). Sorry for such a long posts, but there's just so many options! Thanks for any help/ideas!
