How hard is it to get that piece off? I haven't taken the dash apart yet for any reason

05mustang_TT_charged · April 12th, 2008, 12:58 PM

I didn't just got a 2" hole saw and drilled through it and the plastic piece behind it, I removed the radio to help wire everything up

06VistaGT · April 12th, 2008, 01:30 PM

Hmm, actually looks pretty good. I think I'm just gonna get a SpeedOfSound A-pillar pod. Kinda like the dash mounted shelby some too.

06RedfireGT · April 12th, 2008, 01:31 PM

I say either an SOS a-pillar pod, or a Saleen dash pod.

texas_mustang · April 12th, 2008, 01:35 PM

kb did an amazing job on the guage install.

major props man

06VistaGT · April 12th, 2008, 01:35 PM

The saleen ones do look pretty good as well.

OR

texas_mustang · April 12th, 2008, 01:37 PM

idk why, i just dont like the look of the SOS pillar. i like the pods to be flushed into the panel more.

HEAVYGT · April 12th, 2008, 04:16 PM

06VistaGT · April 12th, 2008, 04:52 PM

Damn HeavyGT...what are all them gauges for? I know you typically need boost and fuel...what are all the other ones?

2006greyGT · April 12th, 2008, 04:57 PM

Water temp, Oil pressure and Volts

06VistaGT · April 12th, 2008, 05:11 PM

Do you need all those or will you be fine with just the boost and fuel gauges? Looking at some gauges as well, gonna need them when I finally install my whipple.

HEAVYGT · April 12th, 2008, 05:33 PM

don't need them...boost and fp is all u really need...just wanted some bling!

2006greyGT · April 12th, 2008, 05:42 PM

I still need an answer... plz... how did you route your hose?

forensicsteve · April 12th, 2008, 07:13 PM

Boost gauge is on the drivers's pillar and boost controller is next to center tach.

Pastor J · April 12th, 2008, 09:10 PM

Boost and oil are on the a-pillar from Speed of Sound. I ran the wiring for the lights from the headlight switch. I ran the tube for the vacuum through the firewall in an existing grommet that is located to the left and above the clutch pedal.

Since this photo I've added the new Speed of Sound center dash pod. You can see the back of it in this photo.

pastor, did you install the engine start button yourself?
