Allright, my turbo WILL be installed next Thursday, and I am now looking around for gauges.  I found decent ones, but the pods dont seem to work together.
My setup.... I want it to be 2 gauges on the a-pillar.  Have a pillar pod in mind.  The Autometer one... and it holds 2" gauges or something.  Fine.
But then I want 3 in a DIN sized holder.  Well... Blitz makes a triple 43mm holder, and HKS makes a triple 46mm holder.  Ok.  Autometer gauges are standard measurements, in inches.  Aside from the fact I want all my gauges to look the same, the damn 43 and 46mm gauges are $300 EACH!!!  Blitz is the only maker of 43mm, and HKS the only maker of 46mm.  WTF!?!  Can I do something and stick standard Autometer gauges into that pod?  Does anyone know where I can get standard measurement 3 gauge DIN holder?  I'm about to pull my hair out.  I have 8 days, and no gauges!!!

43mm = 1.7 in
46mm = 1.8 in
Those are really small gauges.
Most gauges I see start at 52mm....

I'd guess you're better off getting an Autometer 3 gauge holder and bolting it in somewhere (vents maybe?)
