Looking for a Boost gauge pod/mount
Hey,
I'd like to add a Boost gauge in my (still to come) rx7 FD,
I may pick a Défi D or whatever good looking one, matching with the OEM gauges.
That's why I'm looking for a mount/pod/stand (don't know exactly how to call it) looking like these :
Do you guys know where I can find that ?
Currently, here's what it looks like : ( definitely no place for an additional gauge)

Have no idea what you're talking about....
-----> RX7 Column Mount Gauge Pod
Defi 'D' series were discontinued a few years ago. But IIRC, their "Sport gauge" in 52mm is pretty much the same....orange back-lighting and gauge font that closely matches the stock gauges.
Know that maybe even more important than a boost gauge, you will also need a temperature gauge, as the stock gauge isn't linear and worthless. That's the second (column mount) gauge that you see on my car.

Thank you so much ! it looks very nice in yours !
I'll look into this IIRC then,
And yes, I think I'll be picking a temperature gauge as well, and eventually a turbo timer and oil pressure / temp too. I just need to find a discreet place for all those things...

Thank you all for your tips !
I should take this lovely Column mount gauge pod for the boost gauge.
I should pick a DIN triple gauges mount (replacing my actual stereo) like this one :
For the gauges, I've looked into a lot of brands, AEM, Defi, VDO, and whatsoever... I'm kinda lost and need more time to pick the right ones. The only thing I'm sure about : they have to look stock design
I think I'll go with Oil temp, Oil Pressure & water temp... I guess.
And I definitely forget the turbo timer.

No I don't, sorry.
actually, I think it's not a good idea for the FD because the center dash console is facing the driver's head.
So I'm gonna take a simple one like this
but if you're looking for it anyway, here you go : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Triple-52mm-...wAAOSw5VFWQK0y
