Perfect timing for your post! ....I just got the box open and they look GREAT!!! I will get these installed tonight and have pics up in the morning.

 

thats what im talking about, I was worried about you, sorry for the short iphone pm replys. I am not going to lie I am so excited to see you and mikeR's set up with the dual pillars.

 

Johnny, what pillar pod? Me still no got um...The UPS guy was here today and only brought me some rear Koni's. I was expecting the pillars and gauges. Dang it! Do you have a tracking number? Thanks.

MikeR

 

As promised, here are a couple shots of my pillar pod and matching painted A pillar installed. The pictures do not do them justice! They look awesome and match the paint perfectly. The workmanship is top notch! Please note that I have a boost and volt gauge installed and a blank filler for my third pod. I am waiting on my gauge manufacturer to finish production and wide band A/F gauge so they were so kind to send me a handy little blank for my pod!

Thanks Jonathan and Rudy!!

 

Blkfin,

That is awsome. Looks as though it is factory. Wish I had a set.

 

Thanks Steve. The Graphite paint looks really nice against the dash and I thought by having both sides painted, it would look more stock. I am very pleased!

 

Did you do all the work yourself? I should have done this when I put the spacers in and had everything off for easy access.

Steve

 

I did, and did not take my intake mani's off while doing it. Just pop you hood all the way up, take off your intake and throttlebody then you can get to the y-pipe pretty easily. I just took mine off and tapped a little barb into it and was done. Much easier than trying to get those intakes on with the spacers installed!!!!! There are a few great step by step threads with pictures if you do a search for "Boost Gauge Install".

 

Gauges look great man. Whats the 3rd one gonna be, AFR?

 

Wow looks very clean I am impressed at how nice those gauges look. What kind of gauges are those? BTW GET SOME MORE PICTURES OF THAT MEAN LOOKING CHARGER UP lol

 

Hey Mike hopefully you received a little surprise on your doorstep at about 7:04 am today. In all seriousness who deserves to get performance shocks, custom pillars, and gauges the same day anyway. lol lol Sorry I did not get the tracking number to you sooner.

 

The gauges are from Prosport. They can change colors and are very inexpensive. I am waiting on that company to finish their wideband AFR gauge so that they well all match. I was getting ready to go get the Charger washed (my daily driver) and will take a couple new photos of it for you. It is mean looking, sounding and is pretty quick....but my SRT6 will smoke it!!!!

 

Johnny, no joy today. The mail man just left a piece of paper in my mail box. They are not open on Saturdays so I have to wait till Monday to get them. I was outin the garage and driveway most of the morning and afternoon. He came early the one day in months that I wasnt up at 6:00am. double drats!!!

MikeR

 

Tell me you made a stop at the post office before you went to work today. If not you better be going on lunch lol

 

The post office isnt open at 6:00am. But it will be at 1:00pm when I go home. I have to mail a package to SLK32Germany so I get a two-fer..

MikeR

 

Huston... we have contact. I picked up the pillars and gauges yesterday. Here is where I am today....
I need to get an oil pressure sending unit and figure out where to install it, where to tap the O2 sensor to connect the AF and install a fitting in the Y pipe for the boost gauge.


MikeR

 

That looks great! I look forward to seeing it in person.

 

Looking good!

You can get the A/F off the main harness in the ECU box.

Here is an image to show which wire to tap into.





Another forum member said it's in the 3rd harness back and is on the side that has a grey ident connector. There are a few of them but just check the rest of the colors to ensure you have the right harness. Hope this helps.

 

Rudy, thanks. That makes it easy. I was just in there looking at the crank position sensor pins on C3.

A problem has been called to my attention with the gauges so I figured I would post here to help everyone out. When positioning the gauges DO NOT JUST TWIST THEM while they are seated into the pod. Not only will this probably scratch your pillar, but YOU WILL NOT BE TWISTING THE GAUGE. You will be twisting the ring that goes around the gauge, which is attached to the glass, which is attached to the color button. When you do this everything gets twisted and messed up but the gauge itself (as a whole) will not move. THE proper way to do this is not seat the gauge all the way in. Leave it out about half an inch, do your linning up and adjusting THEN PUSH THE GAUGE IN. Also I would not suggest minor tweaking from the back when the gauge is fully seated (from behind the pillar). The pressure from the front part of the gauge will not twist, and you may twist the back of the gauge off. I just do not want this problem to happen to anyone else. Please be careful installing these pillars and gauges, just take your time and be patient.
