60mm gauge in 52mm pod???

[caveo]

Alright , guys iv ordered a 52mm Nomad pod for my Leon and a defi boost gague , which i ordered from demon tweeks and which i asumed was 52mm ( as size wasnt stated anywhere on the site ) BUT have just found out that it is 60mm !!!!
So has any one got a nomad pod and will i be able to dremmel it out to 60mm or will i be sending one of these back???

I've put a 60mm gauge in a 52mm nomad pod in my Ibiza cupra. I done as you said and used a dremel tool to grind it to 60mm, just take it easy and don't remove too much. I then used some clear bathroom silicone to hold it in place.

that's mine - it's a twin 52mm pod, though

i thought the only 60mm defi bf gauge was the tacho one (unless you have the standard defi gauges?)

THISis the one , as you can see is states no size

Did you order the control box to go with this?

 

[caveo]

No i dont plan on doing any logging as i use vag com for that

It's just that i didn't know you could use the Defi Link series gauges without the control box they plug into.

 

[caveo]

I gave em a call and they said i DO need the box so iv canceled that and am now looking for a black bosst gague with red needle and numbers , in BAR to 2 bar

 

[caveo]

ok guys so iv found this one and am planning to get some bulb paint so it iluminates red , whats your thoughts???

CLICKY

You CAN get the nomad pillar in 60mm, just ask them when you order and they'll kindly do the dremmel job.

I had the Defi BF gauges in my Leon (see 3rd post in this thread)

And yeah, you do need the control unit for the series link gauges, but they work a treat and look effing awesome - gotta love that startup sequence...

 

[caveo]

Whats you thoughts on the one in post 13 , it also does the start up sweep thingy but for 40 notes not almost 200 and is 52 mm

 

[Cupra Iain]

It depends on how much you can justify spending to be honest, the Defi BF's are super sweeet, but by the time i'd bought them and paid my mechanic to install them and hard wire em in to the ignition (i'm not great with electrics) it'd cost me around about £500 for 2 gauges...

And then i sold the car 3 months later. Gutted!

 

[caveo]

Admitted they look sweet but i cant realy justify spending 200 note on 1 gague , so this one looks a good compramise.

Heres a Defi gauge, only £10 atm.
