How accurate is the water temp from the overflow tank?

Slowboost, the boost adapter does fit with the stock box. I was worried about it too, but it fits.

Hi Adam,
Any updates on the pic for the 52mm gauge mounted in the pod?

52mm gauge mounted.


Had to use the visor /cup that came with the pro-sport gauge and fab it up as an adaptor with some dremel work.

So unless Alta provides an adaptor the 52mm gauges don't fit.

So Adam from Alta clarified that they offer Spacer Rings for any client looking to use 52mm gauges.

Thanks for the pic. Noticed you used the single pod, i am assuming it's the same deal with the dual gauge pod that comes in aluminium.....

Still would like to see the alta pod with a 52mm meter with the spacer ring, i just wanna see for sure how it's gonna look before ordering the whole lot.

Thanks

Can i get a peek at how it looks from behind the meters?

You can't really see much behind there since it's pretty close to the dash but i'll try to take a pic and post it on here.

Very! It isn't just an overflow tank. It is a reservoir that has fluid pass through it not just when the engine burps.

Thanks.

Maybe a pic taken from the side window or down from the windscreen would be great. Just trying to figure out how neat it is back there.
