Picture of A-pillar with gauge?

Good Evening All,

I'm getting ready for the supercharger build on my 2009 Pontiac G5. Since I have an airbag in my A-pillar it seems I will need to get the Cobalt A-pillar with the gauge. Plus, it will be factory. Can someone give me a pic of the A-pillar with a pic of the gauge as well? I want to see it before I actually order it for myself.

Thanks, Gene.

I recommend getting a triple pod a pillar. This way when you realize you want more then just a boost gauge, you can put it there.

For example I have in the bottom slot a Mechanical boost gauge *much better than stock*, then my fuel pressure gauge, and then on the top my interceptor reading iat2's and kr.

Just something to think about as of now.

..FIrst of all there are no airbags in the pillar... there in the roof. So please get that out of your head.

I wanted to get the 3 gauge pillar, but the pillar with air bags is different and I don't want to compromise the air bag system.

As far as I know it won't hurt anything. The air bags are in the headliner above the door. The label for the airbag is just on the clip covering the screw that holds the pillar in place.
Remove it and look...

I like the cleaner look of the stock (ss/sc or ss/tc) single pillar so good choice! I just run an Interceptor and use the two analog 5v outputs for AFR (wideband) and something else.

Actually they list an A-pillar with gauge with airbags and an A-pillar with gauge without airbags, so something tells me something is different.

I don't know what an interceptor is, lol. I'm sorry... I just bought this thing and decided I wanted to do a supercharger so I'm trying to figure out what I need.

I was just saying, take it off and look. My room mates SS/SC has the bags and mine doesn't. As far as my knowledge, the bags shouldn't be affected by an aftermarket pillar

Good product!

Hook a vacuum line to it,lol....

I have a ss/sc/ single guage pillar in perfect condition i woud like to sell. $50.00 shipped anywhere in the U.S. I think the only difference between the 2 is the little plug that covers the screw, one says airbag, the other does not. Usually you just use the plug from your anyway....
