Has anyone found a decent gauge pod for the 80 in recent time? I found some old threads here on mud, but the links go to dead pages.

Considering a Scangauge 3, which will probably have most of what I need. If it includes A/FR and Coolant Temp, then I may only need a single gauge pod for Boost.

Interested to know what others are doing / have done.

This seems promising:
Lutz Auto Multi-gauge Clock Replacement

They also have USA-made sensors to connect to this multi-gauge for boost, trans temp, EGT, outside ambient temperature, and oil pressure. Is anyone running this particular multi-gauge?

They sell a speedometer calibrator too for 80's running larger tires.

I think the screen is a bit too small.

You might want to try a Ram mount attached to the useless cubby above the radio.

If only @Cruisers and Co made a gauge pod to go with their badass turbo kits....

4x4 concepts out of Australia makes one, I ordered one back in Sept but have yet to see it. Not sure if its something I'll keep or not yet. I am not a huge fan of pillar gauges, and I say that having them in two of my other vehicles.

I have the Lutz Auto multi gauge here to install in my 80 as well when the turbo parts arrive. I think it'll do just fine for most of what concerns me. The hot setup is the full digital dash that @Cruisers and Co has in their 55 with a turbo 1FZ. If you're going stage 2 with standalone, it seems like its worthwhile.

Dakota Digital also offers a replacement cluster, but I'm not sure if the digital display portion in the center can be configure to display parameters like boost/EGT/AFR etc...

Only so many hours in a day... Need to cut this in half so it is feasible to print

The Lutz works well. We've installed a few and while a bit small it keeps a nice clean look.

I have looked at this and for the amount of effort that it took to create it I am not sure what it offers that anyone would want besides a fresh dash that can connect to their sensors for swaps. Maybe I am missing something

Here is one that mounts to the steering column cover.

The Belmont Single Gauge Mount

Put a 52mm or 60mm gauge anywhere you please in your interior

I would personally go with a Haltech UC-10 if you are running a standalone ECU or have many sensors. Keeps the dash and interior very clean and without a bunch of gauges. And can be customized to whatever you want, even a digital copy of the factory analog gauge cluster.

Yeah, I was thinking it’s a small screen too!

Whoa! So many cool options!

Exhaust first!
 
We are mucking up this turbo thread with gauges! This turned out pretty clean was extra work extending the harness wiring to get all the way to the pod. I bought this from a member on here I can’t remember his handle I’ll find it. @Ballsie sells them.

This is what I got on an old phone (Torque app) via OBD2.

There's your boost gauge too. But you need a sensor for it. The car I used it in came with a turbo from the factory so all the data was there.

This gadget displays the emission readiness state, if interested in such a thing. CARB rules here so I need it.
