Why Water Temp. I know the stock gauge doesn't show numbers but there has to be something somewhere that shows what the difference or range it displays, from that you can deduct what the temp is from the position, right ? It's more work yes but you'll have duplicate gauges.
Instead of tapping the manifold couldn't you come off the temp sensor that exists now ?
No completely sure about CDC pods but I know some require drilling holes into the dash. Not a fan of that at all so my vote would be a pillar gauge pod.

Before and after the turbo install, my gauge reads a hair to the left of dead center. So I don't know if there was a change or not.I would get a mechanical water temp gauge, not an electrical one. So, it needs a port that a bulb can be installed into.
You don't need to drill for the CDC pod, but I don't know how you get to the vent from underneath to pull the wires through. It says you can get them from the glove box. I looked and don't know how that's possible.
If I get the A-Pillar set-up, I would be happy with Water Temp (if I can find where to install the sensor) and boost/vacuum (easy to hook up).

I started a thread here to see if anybody has anything to say about the one place I'm looking to install the sensor:

I've read that the stock gauge will show right about dead center and the temp could be anywhere between 160 and 210 degrees. Before and after the turbo install, my gauge reads a hair to the left of dead center. So I don't know if there was a change or not.

A-Pillar looks to be alot easier to install.

That's what I'll probably do, then!

I'm pretty sure that location would be perfect. So what if it doesn't circulate there until the T-Stat opens... I don't care what the temp is at the radiator... I care what the temp is at the engine.

Pt.1: Hung out with Brian, Leo, George, and Jed at Lucky Strike bowl. No bowling, but had a few drinks and some good laughs! 
Pt.2: Moved the party to *&%^$@# (
)... no comment. 
All I can say is that it involved me onstage, shirtless, getting spanked, and being paraded around the pole. Nuff said.
Sorry George you had to go to work and miss all the action.
Brian, Leo, and Jed..

So what did the wife say when you came home smelling like a bath and bodyworks wearing a BE shirt?
Did you end up wearing it to the BBQ the next day like you planned?It was fun. Probably the nicest hippest bowling alley I've ever been to. I've never been to a bowling alley that had a dress-code. Would have been nice to hear each other talk. Dang kids with the loud music
The other place was OK I guess. Don't get me wrong I like the eye-candy. But I don't like throwing away money. At least in Vegas you feel like you might have a chance.
Bill being paraded=priceless. But honestly We had no idea she was gonna do that. Figured it was just a lap-dance of honor grind-a-thon and that was about it.
Great to hang with Bill, Jed, George and Leo.

George-Thanks for the tix to D-land. I guess I'll finally get to check out "California adventure". Although for what you told me doesn't sound like there's much to it.
BTW-I like the CDC pod. Here's a link to the install.

Told her what my nice POTR friends had in store for me the next morning; she thought it pretty hillarious!
I came clean with the exception of one teeny-tiny minor detail which may or may not have happened because of the booze prior to entering this establishment and also to the fact of no witnesses being present at the time.
And yeah, not only did I wear my BE shirt to the family BBQ, but also proudly wore it to the shopping mall prior to the BBQ!
Talk about your ears burning...

Ahh yes... payback will be sweet Leo.
I'm sure you were the envy of your family BBQ. Was Kevin upset that he missed out? I'm sure it's a "payback" I won't mind.

If you need a good laugh. All I'll say is it involves loctite and oil pan drain plug.

My niece Amber got a kick out of my shirt!
He's a guest here in POTR so he'll know what we're talking about when he sees it.
I'm sure you won't mind your 'payback' either.

Some people should be banned from hardware and auto stores. What the crap? I like how he claims he did an engine swap on an Eclipse.
