Default Single Gauge Pillar Pod??

Does any one know where I can get a single gauge pillar pod for my 03 gt so I can mount my boost gauge? I have a autometer cup mount that I'm not liking very much.

Thanks!

Dude take it from me. Its not all that difficult of a procedure, but if you are going to go through the trouble of installing a pillar gauge pod, might as well at least get 2 gauges. I put a boost and oil pressure in mine.

Oh I installed the cup gauge mount to my dash and installed with no problem. I just don't like the look of the connections coming out the back.

That's what is called "full race". There has never been a single gauge pillar pod for the PT.

That looks very clean. I can't wait. My dumbass will have to order a new dash top to replace the one I've drilled into.

Let me ask about your boost gauge. I see from the picture that your car is running and it looks like your boost gauge is giving you a reading...is that true or is that vacuum? Where did you T into under the hood. I T'ed into the 3/8 rubber hose that comes off the rear of the intake manifold. Also, I understand the orange wire in the A-pillar is the tie in for the light but where did you ground to?

Thanks!

Thats where most people Tee into, the brake booster line. I didnt want to do it that way, didnt want to chance any problems with my brake lines, so i used the Vac line on top of the throttle body. My Boost gauge is also vac, and its idling, so the car is reading vacuum pressure. If you pull the center compartment down under your steering column, you will see two bolts and a hole covered by a black plate bolted to your firewall. Those bolts are your grounds
