Default Ventpods are installed ...

These things are really nice quality parts ... I was expecting some cheesey plastic pieces by they are definitely heavy-duty plastic. Air does indeed flow out the outer vents with them installed but are obviously not adjustable. For the wiring and boost tubing I made a hole in the bottom each factory vent tube. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a quick and easy gauge install ...

They are not angled ... and I have no problem seeing them from the drivers seat ... You can completely see the front of the A/C vents when closed can't you? I did put the boost on the driver side since it is analog ... and I can see the entire needle sweep. The A/F gauge is digital so no probem seeing that one ...

I installed mine this past weekend as well. For electrical gauges you don't even have to drill a hole. Looks nice, easy install and a decent price I think.

Depending on the gauge the instructions (now available on the website) do show you how to install with no cutting. The AEM gauge has two fairly large wire bundles and the Boost gauge is mechanical so I made the holes so I didn't have to bend or possibly kink any wiring or tubes ...

Very sweet, is the wiring aspect hard? I would like to do them myself when I supercharge, but I am not an electrical guy at all haha
