what pillar pod n boost gauge to get

autogauge or autometer do the best gauges imo!
the nomad pillar mouont is good apart from the big dirty screw that holds it in, steering column ones on the mk4 golf fit too!

do they really?
always wondered this but wasnt sure seen as the dash is from the A3
only seen EIP and US companies selling them, whereabouts in the UK does

awesome-gti!

if you look, at the steering colums sure they are the same, spoke to one of the guys ion here from round my way and he had one! check first tho to be sure!

cheers mate
ill be sure to probe a-gti on it next time im over

so has ayone sourced a steering colum pod for leon cupra r?

Below is what the Pillar pod looks like...

I'd advise against getting the AutoGauge "Stealth" model (which I currently have ), as they are a pain in bright sunlight in the day time...can't really seem them.

Also, have a look at these CLICKY, a friend has them in his car, and they are pretty cool!! They are the "Stealth" type, but much better in day light!

The best gauges IMHO are the defi electronic gauges, but they aren't cheap! Had them in my Cupra and they were awesome!

Can I borrow your Money tree

Defi are spanking gauges, but as you say touch on the pricey side...

here are a few of my gauges and pillar i really like them its a nomad pod and auto gauge gauges from halfords of all places

I'm looking at getting the nomad pillar pods. However I want the autometer phantom gauges. These are apparently 52.39mm 2 1/16"and the nomad pod says it's 52mm. But is it actually 52mm exactly? Will the autometer gauges fit or should i go for the autogauge and spray the silver rim black?

cheers

They'll fit, nice and snug, only .39 of a mm, just a midgies baw hair. (all us scotts will understand)

I can also confirm they fit. I e-mailed them a couple of weeks back and Al@Awesome went and tried one on an 1.6 leon in the workshop. He said that it fits but would need a small trim on the end to allow full moment in the steering column adjustment.

I also made my own last week (took the standard air vent out and used mdf + filler)
No pics yet since my car is gone at the moment to fix a downpipe leak issue + connecting the gauges.

I'm using steward warner gauges:
