    Air vent pod

    Hey guys
    Was wondering if anyone knows of a air vent pod to suit RHD. Like the AWE item not the OSIR.
    Would like to keep the air vent looking OEM if possible. Unfortunetly the OSIR one looks a bit tacky in my opinion.
    AWE have told me they dont. Has anyone 'modded' the orginal vent and mounted a boost gauge to it ?
    Thanks all in advance, with any suggestions

    Im not a fan of the vent pods but keep eyeing off the single/double pods for the steering column... Have you considered them?

    Like this:

    I had the same thinking as you. I think the OSIR replacement vent looks horrible (why couldn't they match the horizontal vent slat shape at least?).

    I ended up getting a P3 gauge. Although i do prefer a mechanical gauge to a digital one, the P3 also gives you intake temp, exhaust temp, real speed, 0-100kph timing capability etc. See here.

    Its a smick looking unit, subtle and classy looking.

    I have looked at those before but like you am a fan of the analog gauges so u dont know that I'd go for that one... Although I would think about it

    Have looked at the P3. certainlt does the business. Like to stick to a needle though. Totally agree Lucas, bit of an after thought on OSIR s behalf, considering there other gear looks good.
    Still debating the column mount pod Hawk.
    The search continues,
    Cheers GG

    I wanted a vent gauge (not Jaycar 4x7 seg display yuk) also, but there is nothing nice for RHD.
    I just ordered (4 days ago) the podi.ca white/blue needle boost gauge and steering column pod and will attempt to take pics when it is fitted (really prefer it in the vent, oh well).

    No other options for a RHD vent pod? agree that OSIR isn't the best looking, but nothing else seems to come in RHD.
