The one that mounts in the centre console in the pocket above the power outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looking for alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it doesn't fit super well and so I have never really been happy with it. Can't really return it as I drilled a hole for an LED for my trans thermo switch. Tried to trim it a bit without much success.Keep meaning to get another one to see if it was a one off, but then don't want to spend another $150 or whatever it was if the second one is no good!

Hit 18psi , then hit a tree. It is common sense to watch where you are going at 18psi instead of a gauge even the speedo is a dangerous distraction. Sounds more like the car lost control instead of going straight in any case. At that boost I can guarantee you my mind is on the steering and keeping an eye on the road cars behaviour..if it steps out Id be focused on the controlling the car not looking at anything else. When you feel your car stepping out of control do you look at your gauge or try to save your car? Id say something went wrong with the car loss of traction poor tyres suspension and then a loss of control. Even if he looked at his gauge why wasnt the driver mindful of the car he was booting 18psi into? In that instance its an error on the driver because yes I have also loss traction om rare occasions while looking at the radio for example and still manage to control the car peoples lives are at risk.

Still need to finish the job by mounting my trans temp LED properly (got a thermo switch to trigger the light and the trans fan) and putting some electrical tape around the gauges to make them snug, but this pic gives you an idea of the improved fitment.So yeah, thanks for sorting it out!Also I need to vacuum the car...
