hi guys i`m just about to undertake fitting one of these got everything sorted apart from how to get the pipe down the back of the dash the pod i`ve brought is a single one which sticks over the existing pillar does any one know if i will have to take off the exisitng one to get the pipe down there to route it into the engine bay then refit it with the new pod stuck on it
I would think you'd have to drill a hole in the existing pillar to run the pipe. And yes i would think you'll have to take off the pillar.
you could try to tuck it in behind the pillar cover. if the gauge is 52mm it may be neater to buy a nomad replacement pillar with integrated pod (ive got one and think its 100%)
i did mine a while back, be prepared to take off half your dash to get the clear tube threaded through, as its hard to get at!
a few skinned knuckles but well worth the effort.
and by the way probably better to buy a nomad pillar as its a direct replacement and looks the nads

thread through the grommet behind the DV. You only need to remove the lower dash cover - torx screws underneath and on the side under the fuse box cover.
Depending on which pod you are using you may or may not have to drill the A-pillar.
If you buy a Nomad pillar be careful as some people (including me) have had fitment problems. They are 50 quid and made of fibreglass, not worth it IMO. Also the gauge pod depth is very shallow you may have problems getting the boost gauge to sit inside properly. My VDO gauge would not fit at all.
I don't mean to put you off though some people are happy with their nomad pillars, to me its not a "finished" product. It looks crude and only comes with sticky-backed velcro to stick it in, very unlike the OEM pillar which has 5 firm clips, and a strip of velvet at the bottom.
