mkitchen - We don't carry the Lamco gauge pods. They're pretty darn expensive - something like $100 at a Subaru dealer. They will only fit a 45mm gauge - will need some very slight work to make them fit but the look is great.
InfamousDX - I'm expecting the HKS pods any day now. The only problem is that I am out of 45mm mech boost gauges. Should be available again by mid June.
Thanks,
Thaison

Got my mechanical boost gauge, and installed it last night.
The install was quite a bit EASIER than the directions made it out to be! Under an hour start to finish, easy.
I soldered the lightbulb connections, just because I've seen too many crimped (or 3M splice) connectors go bad.
Only "trick" I'll add is that I used this stuff called "303" (it's a rubber protectant/lubricant used in the pool business, also sold thru Summit Racing and the like for car use) to help the gauge slide into the Lamco pod. That made that part of the job MUCH easier. The 303 works well on underhood stuff (for you car show buffs out there) because it gives the nice low-gloss shine WITHOUT attracting dust like Armor All or STP Son-of-a-Gun!
Surprisingly (at least relative to the directions), my Omori gauge seems to respond quicker than the Lamco gauge did!
So, anyone wanna buy a Lamco boost gauge......very cheap

I am looking at getting the Mech. boost gauge and the HKS pod. Does the pod mount just as the factory one does? Also if it does, do you just drill a hole through to mount it? I want one and am glad these are back in stock, total would be $135 shipped? Also it looks like the boost in PSI is that correct? Bump!
