Where to fit gauges in evo 3

[evo3ben]

Been racking my brains to find a way of fitting 3 gauges in my evo 3. (oil temp, oil pres, boost. I have a boost gauge on the 'A' pillar at the mo which is an old gauge. I have tried 2 different tripple 'A' pillar pods but either totally shite or dont fit :x there only seems one way of doing it on the 'A' pillar and that is 3 seperate greddy single pods but just not prepared to pay stupid money for them. Has anyone got any ideas?? Even if it means fitting the two oil gauges somewhere else. please help!!

You tryin to say I'm stupid Ben????

typical what i mean is i have other things that i need other than splashing over £100 on pillar pods just cant justify the cost.
Could get a twin pod for the dash and put a single pod on the 'A' pillar but dont want to cut holes every where :???:
The question is, is there anything out there pod wise that fits on the pillar of an early evo that dont cost any where near a months council tax!!

Hi Ben

Several options,

Fit the boost in with the dials and the others on a 2 A Pillar

Move the climate control unit to the glove box and mount them in there

Mount them on the dash facing towards the driver

If you need a hand,give me a shout

I fitted my boost gauge in a air vent just above the a/c unit.
Not quite happy with it tho, so ill retry when i get it back and get a s/h air vent.

What size are the gauges Ben??

I have a single din triple holder for 52mm gauges I have never got round to using if you are interested?

You could also put them under the stereo where the blank normally goes but I think this may be alittle low to keep your eye on.

What about a triple mount in the centre of the dashboard?

Cheers for all the suggestions and thanks for the offer nigel
Decided what i am going to do. RGM sell single pillar pods and they fit perfectly over the early evo 'A' pillar plastic so am going to buy 3 of them. I like my boost gauge on the pillar so decided thats where they are all going. Dont want to cut up or put holes on top of the dash and like my boost controller under my stereo. Should look good when finished but think its gonna be a mission to fit the oil gauges Will put a pic up when done.
