Default pod and boost gauge

One of the downsides of IPD is so many people think they are the "be all, end all" of Volvo parts. The pod you're looking at for $45? Made by LoTek, OK? Their website is www.gaugepods.com....here's the actual pod direct from the manufacturer...for $15!! Plus, unlike IPD, LoTek offers the pod in your color! http://www.gaugepods.com/volvopod.jpg

If you like the looks of the boost gauge, go for it...not my cup of tea but, hey, variety, spice life...blah blah blah...I buy VDO VisionSeries gauges because they work. My cars make lots of power...I'd rather not blow anything up...egauges.com has a super variety of brands and great prices...

Ok IPD is great but overpriced. I suggest you go to LOTEK INC. (A.K.A. Gaugepods.com) and get a single gauge A-pillar pod for $15.

I recommend Autometer, but to each their own.

I have the LOTEK triple gauge A-pillar pod. I had a single way back when I started modding.
