I'm thinking of getting a pillar pod soon and might go with some autometer gauges.  The only thing I don't like about them are the needles.  Could I take them out and put one in say the little needles we have on the cluster for fuel, oil pressure, temp, and make it work?  Would I screw up the gauge if I tried?

The gauges don't come apart. So you would screw up the gauges if you tried.

I bought Autometer Z-Series for my TGP. It's a black face, black face ring, white letter gauges that match our dash gauges perfectly. Or you can get the Autometer Sport-Comp gauges with the silver ring instead of the black.

But I would go to your local parts store and buy 194R bulbs instead of using the bulb condoms.

I like the Pro-Comp series better. The gauges are liquid filled  :wink: The only thing I don't like is that their boost gauge only goes to 20 PSI  :cry:

Yeah my autometer only reads to 20 PSI but um....In what car are you running more then 20 PSI in??? I run 15 on the street and maybe a little more (16-17) at the track, but more then 20, I dont know how the TGP could handle that!

It can..with upgrades.  :wink:  :wink: However, it would also require a MAP sensor upgrade, which is the one thing I haven't figured out yet. But I like the option of having the gauge go above 20 in the event that I do figure it all out.  :D

I run over 20 psi in the Supe all the time. The TGP should handle it fine with good supporting mods.
