How about both Gauge pods..
I have both of them in stock.
Either way is win win, personally since they have the warning features on the gauges you are getting I like the RB Gauge pod. I never stare at the gauges anyway if they are flashing then I will look. It was what I was going to do personally.
We have another gauge pod coming here shortly that will be similar to Lotek's 3 pod options but will have a more stylish look. And it might be CF.....you never know

You can save yourself a wad of money and time by doing this cooling upgrade instead of what you had planned ...

20 mins of hard charging (with turbo fitted) at the track and no overheating issues .....

picked up my gauges, gauge pod, gauge sender adapters, and brake pads yesterday.
can anyone help me with mounting the gauges in the RB gauge pod? i don't have any instructions and the brackets i have aren't going to work.
so far i already installed the BHR coils. next things to install with be the oil pan, oil cooler, gauge sender adaptersgauge pod and a few gauges.

if you are talking about the curve in the gauge pod, it is a bit odd, i plan on painting the side of the gauges black so it does not show..

If you stop by, I'll give you a hand. You will not be able to use the mounting cups supplied with all 3 gauges. You can use one of them on the middle gauge and then you can either purchase a metal bracket from racing beat or fabricate one to secure the outer two brackets. I purchased mine from Racing Beat, but I made one for Dan out of a small piece of wood. Also, instead of painting the sides of the gauges, you can just make a single wrap of electrical tape around each gauge so they blend in more.

Yeah, you can use the provided cup for the middle gauge, then use a small bracket to attach the outer two. I have duty today, but I can pop mine out and take a pic on Tuesday if you like. I know I got my bracket from Racing Beat for about $10.

new pics of new parts.
Hawk ceramic brake pads, Prosport premium series gauges(oil press/temp, water temp, EGT, and electrical boost), Prosport oil sandwich plate, RB water temp adapter, 3/8"NPT-1/8"NPT adapter.
Agency Power black silicone radiator hoses(still waiting for the 3rd one)
i'd like to say thanks to Brice of Fluid Motorsports. he gave me a free shirt for buying so many parts.
