Pods & Gauges...what do people have...

[Copra]

got a nomad piller pod for the boost, and ive made a fibre glass mount down for where the ash tray area is. covered it in some fake leather stuff, like the material the gear gaiter is made from

how do you get the centre vents put copra

 

[Copra]

not sure, think they pull out?

I have had a go with little things I found in car (keys, screwdrivers etc...)

Cant seem to get them out and cant see any screws in it. Feels like it just needs an bug tug

Bit of OT...but is there somewhere instructions "how to" install boost gauge into Leon 1.8VT TS (=Cupra)??

Thanks.

right guys sorry if i have mised this ih this post but as i was aware the nomad posts for the LCR only come with VELCROW to fix it, is this true?

Does this not leave the fix a little shitty?

Im reluctantly getting a gauge (as i just ont like the look of them usually but really need one) so want to find the best quality mounting.

 

[Copra]

your right they do, and yes it is shitty.

i took my factory piller off, cut the brackets off with a stanley knife, and glued them in the correct position onto the nomad one. no probs, 10min job

ah thats sounds cool. was wondering if that would be an option but haven't had the standard off so not sure what it exactly looks like so wasn't sure if it would be possible

Jib, oil temp and boost are best IMO.

Boost for monitoring health of the turbo. (overboosting and not enough boost and you'll know straight away that you have a problem)

Some peope say oil pressure instead of oil temp but i dont see the reason why. If theres a problem with oil pressure the oil pressure light will come on on the dash so whats the point? Its a very boring gauge aswell, it will hardly ever move.

Oil temp lets you know when to put the foot down and when not too. Let it get upto 85-95c before giving it the beans, anything above 120c and then back off!

No gauge, no way of knowing this!

I dont care what anyone says chipped LCR's have a problem with running extremely high oil temps, you need to know when to back off! A sustained 100+mph run will easily see the temp reach beyond 120c. A top speed run for just a few minutes and you'll be at the top end of the temp gauge!

Not good, and without a temp gauge you would never know!

I would say a temp gauge is a must for a chipped LCR!

To be perfectly honest, considering the price, the nomad pillars are shite. The velcro is more than useless. I use silicone adhesive and I still have a gap along the top edge.

im not a fan of the stering colum mounts though otherwise i would get that

doesnt block any instrument viewing, the old radio display and auto transmission line and a bit of the warning box

just apprehensive as to how much room there is to then run wires and vac line out and under the column
