    I see the vent pod and the steering column pod. Was just curious if anyone has a pillar pod. The steering column pod i think would annoy me looking at my cluster

    The reason the B6 a-pillar gauge pod market is so anemic is due to the airbag that would violently shoot gauges at you.

    I think you will be very happy with the center mount pod. It blocks very little of the speedometer and is in a very easy position to read while driving. The Podi pod gauge blends in very well with the rest of the gauges. My personal opinion is that a string of A pillar gauges belong on a pick up truck or Neon.

    If you want to fabricate your own lower A pillar mounting location read this: Clicky click® This is low enough on the A pillar that it may not interfere quite as mutch with the side air bag.

    Me and my brother run Podis but I saw this on Instagram and happen to really like it. Maybe it will give you a design idea

    it does look clean but, is it worth it to receive a boost gauge to the head?

    If you get in a wreck so bad that your bags deploy...the airbag to the face is probably more of a concern than a boost gauge.. just saying

    Yeah Dave, the airbag itself is dangerous too but that compared to basically a high speed hard plastic/metal projectile is a little more concerning in my eyes. Makes me think of that mythbusters episode when they test the lethality of a tissue box in the car in the event of an accident
