A pillar gauges
What are some useful gauges to put in a 3 pod gauge pillar? I dont think something like boost or air fuel mix would be useful and there already is a water temp in the cluster. What are some useful and resonably easy to install ones?

i'd like a good ampere reading gauge for my battery. but i haven't found one that is capable of reading up to 700A. (you'd need helluva big cable though)

i should just pull out. there is like 3 or so clips on the backside of the pillar. just pull carefully so the clips dont break off. might try using a flathead screwdriver to get it started if you cant get your fingers behind the pillar to pull it.

they make radar detectors that the display fits in a gauge pod. Or you could just do this http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/...hp/t78148.html
