I was wondering if the Autometer gauge pod replaces the stock A-pillar trip piece, or if it goes over top of the stock one and secure to the stock trim piece? I'm hesitant to drill or cut any stock parts since I just bought the car, but I need to get some gauges in there.

It goes on top of the stock trim. I think you have to drill 4 small holes for "push-pins" to hold it on. Replacement A Pillar trim runs around $19.00. Not a high dollar item to replace, so you c an afford to be creative..

Exhaust Depot:
I am unable to see if your turbo EGT has markings on it, but does it have a caution area or red area that suggests where you might be creating more heat than you should? Yours also looks stock as if it came with the car, installed from factory, correct? thanks
Rip, my setup is not stock. Only the boost gauge comes stock. It has the warning red line at 900C.

Its simular to the one shown above thats drilled into the downpipe, only that the bung is smaller. Its a 1/8npt, i think the one above is a 1/4" NPT.

Exhaust Depot, mine reaches 900c just driving 1/2 mile on easy throttle and runs between 1000-1200 in normal driving, so I don't know the difference between gauges or engines, will have to research it more, and its post turbo, which should be slightly cooler than pre-turbo.

Thanks Guys!!! Gauges installed!
THANKS RIPSTER -Printed your photo of the EGT probe and showed it to the installer a local speed shop....installed for $25! (Probe only - installed gauges myself)
Much apprieciated...works great!
800-1000 @ hot idle
1000-1300 @ mixed driving
Gone as high as 1350-1400 @ WOT (w/boost ON)- cools quickly to 1200-1300.
Lunar series looks awesome - matches perfectly!
