e-boost 2 not going to fit in 52mm gauge pod?

[e36ALPINE]

Anyone got the e-boost 2 to fit in a 52mm (1 1/16) gauge pod? I know the eboost is 60mm but can you dremel it out or something? I already have the 2" gauge pods. Do I need to mount it somewhere else?

no it wil nto fit

i tried. its simply not large enouge.

i ended up installing the eBoost2 into the driver side AC vent right above the head light switch.

[e36ALPINE]

Yeah , I might have to do that too. Damn

it fits, you have to dremel the pod to 60mm from the 52mm


card counter has it and ill be doin that this weekend once i get home

see id like to see a pic of this because when i looked at my 52mm autometer pos and held up the eBoost 2 to it the outside diameter was much alrger then the diameter of the outside of the gauge pod.

i cant find card counters picture but maybe he will chime in, i think u can see it in some of his videos...i think the ics blue car that hit a 10 also has it ounted there


do u have the 66mm or the 60mm?

I'll go take a pic of mine. You're right, it really doesn't look like it will fit, but once the hole is enlarged a bit the entire pod will widen as you push it in.:ky:D

Yeah, George from ICS also said it would fit.

HAHA, that's funny, a year ago I'm on the phone with him saying "George, it's not just the hole, it's the entire pod, it's too small, it's not going to fit! He said, "just widen the hole it fits fine". I was coninced it wasn't going to fit and sure enough it fit fine.

What I did was trace as best I could the back of the eboost guage onto the front of the pod and dremeled it out very slowly a little at a time to keep the line smooth. Just be careful, the dremel wheel will go throught that thin plastic extremely fast. Good Luck.

thanks man, i will go slow
