Vent Pod for Boost Gauge

[hubbly_bubbly]

Finally got around to designing a vent pod for the Mk4 Ibiza air vent. This allows for a neat and OEM style fitment for a boost (or other) gauge. I use 45mm gauges in my cars as they fit the vent housing a little easier. I have also designed a pod for 52mm gauges. The pod replaces the stock air vent internals which clip out and the pod is fixed in place by clips in the stock vent surround. Let me know what you think

Stock vent surround used in conjunction with vent pod:

45mm Gauge and Pod:

52mm Gauge and pod

Stock housing and pod. This picture shows how the open/close mechanism of the stock vent housing would block the gauge. Thus the stock housing is not used.

I made a version of the housing with no internals, basically just a tube which connects the vent surround to the vent pipe in the dash.

I should have some pictures of the gauge fitted in my friends car in the next couple of days. Ill update the thread when that happens

As a showcase of the different finishes one can achieve with some primer and gloss black spray paint I made the vent pod in my Leon gloss black.

Looks great.
Well done.

Thanks lil

Some pictures from the test fit on the drivers side vent.

In all likelihood the pod and gauge would be fitted to one or both of the centre vents as they are angled towards the driver.

Now that would be lovely for a boost gauge in the FreeTrack; what's the going rate for a MK2 Leon pod? It's the same part on the FreeTrack, so would fit quite nicely...

Mk2 Leon pod is ready, its in the Mk2 section. Would be great to have one in a Freetrack. That being the Altea Freetrack?

Have sent you a pm ritch_b

 

[ritch_b]

Altea FreeTrack it is indeed! An uncommon thing with the sort of face only a mother can love! :-D
