Heres a final product. Work performed by Tyrolsport. 52MM (2 1/16") gauges only!

 

That's pretty awesome! So can you maneuver it around and such??? Does air still come out?

 

Maneuverability is limited, but air is functional.

 

That is quite possibly the coolest mod I've seen for the R56. I'm incredibly jealous.

 

Sweet but I don't know if I would want to lose the vent and If I did I would fill the whole vent up.

 

That looks awesome.

I had though about it but then said there is no way to make it look right, and the way i sit in my car i did not think i would be able to see if very well, it's kind of behind the steering wheel.

How is your view of it?

 

Props for that! I still like the cravenspeed setup better. It is nice looking though, and original!! Good work!

 

It looks good from driver point of view....your not watching it at the same time your driving the car, but if you want to peek at the boost, its very easy....

 

PM me im trying to figure out how to get the vent out and how you ran the vac hoese and were the electrical went for the back light thanks

 

neato.

i kinda like it, i kinda dont, i'm unsure.

i'd like to see one put in the center vent.

 

center vent doesnt work, the diameter of the inside ring doesnt measure up to any gauges on the market.

 

Looks god-awful IMO. Totally out of place and disrupts the symmetry of the dash. Why not spend $40 and get the tach side mounts?

 

becasue i hate the design of the so called gauge holders, they are totally out of place and disturb the symmetry of the dash instrumentation! steering wheel is too small to accommodate proper reading of the gauges that would be attached to the side of the tach...think about it before you speak .

 

Atko: vacuum port has to be drilled and tapped in the intake manifold, or you can order the boost port from alta or european source....electrical, im still working on it. tach meter doesnt have any stable 12v, i think i have to tap into the cigarette lighter for that.

 

I actually did think before I spoke, that's why I put IMO. But if you like the "guage in the vent look", which is exactly what that looks like, then go for it. To me it looks homemade, artificial, and backwoodsish. Again, just my opinion which I assume you were soliciting since you put it on here. What about cutomizing the A-pillar or the niche below the temp controls?? Or what about gluing it onto the glass of the speedometer?? Just kidding! Really, Just Kidding. To each his own!

 

speechless

 

Related but off topic question.
Is there an A pillar gauge pod the will work with the R56?
