Nautious1 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Ok, now that I met the requirement of the "1000" mile break-in-process, I was thinking of putting a boost gauge somewhere on my steering column. I saw the post by MELTDOWN07 in which a 45mm Omori Boost gauge was installed on the steering column as seen here So I had an idea with an older style AutoMeter single pod holder (52mm) to see if I could achieve the same results as MELTDOWN07. I will use some heavy duty DOUBLE STICK TAPE to mount it on the column cause I don't want to be drilling any holes that I'll regret later. Below are FOUR possible positions of where I'm considering putting the boost gauge. Yes, i know its a useless Air/Fuel gauge but I had to put something in the pod to test it. Left of the "P". I like this one because this is the most practical place to put it. I could live without seeing the "Legacy" logo so this one is the front runner. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Nautious1/Legacy%20GT/05202006/DSC05856.jpg A little more to the left of the column. I would probably use this location if I could find a custom pod that would fit. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Nautious1/Legacy%20GT/05202006/DSC05857.jpg Up by the A-Pillar. Well, I'm not a fan of this one but it is in a place most suitable when driving. The location is more functional then any of the others. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Nautious1/Legacy%20GT/05202006/DSC05858.jpg On the dash. Well, in order for me to achieve this look, I would have to put on a dash cover to conceal the wiring and the double stick tape. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Nautious1/Legacy%20GT/05202006/DSC05859.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLU24 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 i'd go with choice A) next to the "P" covering the "LEGACY" im still undecided where to place mine but I'm leaning heavily to have it molded into the top half of the a/c vent to the right of the steering wheel....

Nautious1 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 by the way, what is that "P" used for? I've searched the owners manual and can't seem to find its function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillboy Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 It's mislabeled. It should be marked "BK" for "Battery Kill" switch. It turns the parking lights on while the engine is off. The instrument cluster lights do NOT come on with this switch, only exterior lights. Most people first find out about it when the bump it to "on" while cleaning the interior. They come out the next day and the car won't start. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautious1 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 thanks for the "P" info! maybe I should pull that damn "P" out and place the pod in that spot!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I vote pillar - http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=1440 If I only had one gauge, though, the column-mount would definitely be my #1 choice. I would simply choose a spot that doesn't interfere with any idiot-lights and, of course, primary gauges. Currently, I have my TurboXS Knock/Shift light mounted in the first position as you indicated above. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 +1 for pillar. I don't like blocking the factory dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
