Here is a picture of my current setup with my boost and trans temp gauges attached to a Autometer pillar pod:



Overall, I like the way it’s setup right now. But I’m getting bored, so I’m thinking of changing to the Roush vent gauge pod setup. When I first saw pictures of the Roush vent gauge pod a few months ago when it first was released, I was kind of lukewarm about it. But now, I’m starting to like it.

Here are two pictures of the Roush vent gauge pod:





So what do you guys think? Should I keep my current setup or switch to the Roush setup?

 

Well, your second picture is of a Mustang setup.

I prefer your current setup, they are alot easier to see. I think being in one vent, let alone a second one halfway across the dash would be pretty tough to see while you are driving.

 

Thanks for response. I posted the Stang picture because that’s the only picture that I could find that shows two Roush vent gauges installed. As I was driving back home from school earlier today, I was thinking the same thing you are thinking. I was trying to visualize while I was driving about how easy it would be to locate both gauges in normal driving conditions with the Roush setup. Although I think the Roush setup might not be as easy to see as my current setup, the Roush vent gauge pod setup just looks a whole lot cleaner.

 

You could put one in each vent on either side of the wheel to make them easy to see. I like the idea, but I would not like not being able to aim my air.

 

The pics did look cool. If you went that route, you might stay hot

Stick with what you have.

 

i agree. i like subtle mods the best so aesthetically speaking, i like the vent pods. HOWEVER, not being able to aim the air or even impeding the flow of it could get real old, real fast on days you really need the heat or A/C.

 

I'd stick with what you already have there.

 

Anybody make a guage panel that would fit where the cig lighter is? That's wasted space, especially since we also have a 12V accessoy outlet as well.

I like the Roush gauge setup.

It's not like you need to be looking at the boost and trans temp all the time. With my Turbo I would glance at the gauge at WOT to see the spike to make sure I didnt have any boost leaks, but other then that you should be watching the road anyways.

Now an Air Fuel ratio gauge would require a little more attention, but even then with the colored LED sweep you just need to glance at it.,

 

x2 - although I really like the look of them in the vents, personally I'd rather have them still usable and still be able to see the guages easily

 

Keep what you have now. it looks good

 

I like my a/c lol. Stick with what you have. But I cant tell you what to do, its your truck.

 

you mean like this?

 

The pillar pod looks much better.

 

i think azmidget is running that set up on his truck. not 100% positive though.
