  • 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:


    (this is the first link google gave me do no endorsement... Just an idea of what I'm looking at)

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

      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,

            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.
