I LOL'd... BTW, I would be careful with the characterizations considering you put a giant red switch in plain view in your ashtray.

Good stuff, I have a sense of humor. And I do realize that it's not the best mod for a BMW, just testing out options.

But I still laughed at that video

Just another Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement…

The max boost in the N54 is 8.8 psi. Why do you need a conspicuously-mounted, POS, “Made in China” gage on your BMW’s dash to tell you that?

I'm not at 8psi of boost

I actually like the pod. I'd have stuck it further in the corner, had it straight up, and put a VEI or a defi there, but that's a start.

Am I the only one who thinks the vent gauge is too out-of-the-line-of-sight? When I'm boosting 16 psi, I don't exactly like to look that far down-and-left, but that's just me, I guess.

I think the POD looks a lot better than some of the ones currently marketed to us. I would rather it be digital, but all in all it looks good.

Ala GT-R. Guages in the I Drive would be awesome.

I am running the Rixxter vent guage. I was worried about it being out of sight line. It is a bit out of the way, but I can see the guage at all times if I need to. That, so far, is the ultimate 335 guage to me. Same color as the stock, dims with the lights, don't lose the whole vent, etc. The price is similar to a Defi guage, though.

that pod come together with the gauge?

Is it this one:http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...questid=113307

I like it ! Is that a Vumaxx gauge pod ?

By the way, I couldn't find an analog boost gauge which has a maximum of 20psi. This is the first one I see. Any other analog gauges with max. 20psi that you know of ?

I hate the 30psi gauges. If you are stock the needle barely moves. And even if tuned, only 2/3 of the gauge is used.
