They got clusters like that..They fit 2 i think..Or just get some resin and build one out of fiberglass.

i think you shoul dmake a sick fiber glass one for your center console, either that or i was thinkin you could duct tape those bitches to the dashboard.....style points

other than the dual pillar pod i bought a universal 3 pod gauge cluster from rex motorsports and it fit really nice right about the center heater vents on the dashboard in that retangle section. i think it looks pretty nice i will try to get a pic of it for ya. i got the idea from a resourcer and thought it was nice.

Well, if you want to do some fabrication, some early 90ish Audis came with a nice 3 gauge pod under the radio. The nice thing is that the gauges are tilted towards you.

fiberglass would be my best bet

;D ;D
Just to reenforce what has already been said
First - pillar pod
Second ARON GE ?is right ,you have to sit in
these old AUDI to apreciate the angle.
they are plastic ,hold 3 two inch guages
almost perfect

Re:where to put all these gauges?
 
I just have 2 gauges right now... boost and air/fuel... I noticed that they fit nicely into a 2in PVC pipe... im building a home made pillar pod thingamabober... out of the PVC pipes and some fiber glass.... why spend 30 bucks on the pillar pod... when you can have hours of fun building your own ----

Nice setup...Also nice dyno score...


Yeah man, go with the abs..Sounds like a good idea.

I also seen somebody make gauges out of cup holders..They screwed to down and tilted it to them..Looked very nice..I dont think its ghetto..Sure didnt look like it....My 2 cents...Good Luck man.. ;D
