Guage pod with RPD?

I've been asking this question for half a year or so and I don't think there is. The un-customizable nature of the pages on the RPD are it's only real downfall in my mind. If there's even one thing on another page I want to see, I have to switch pages, and can't see the combo I want. I'd like to put in other gauges in addition to the RPD (like an Interceptor for instance), but no gauge pod exists to do that.

I've been trying for a while now...

Bugged ZZP about it several times, on the forum and on their website. No response back. I hear they do good work with gauge pillars/pods too, so it's a bit of a disappointment.
Yup.

I think the RPD has some wierd flanges that would keep you from doing that unless you wanted to start cutting away at it...
I thought about going the other way with it though... maybe doing a gauge mounted on the steering column or one of those instrument panel integrated ones.

I will be attempting to mount an RPD to my ZZP triple gauge pod in about 2 weeks. I'm doing the conversion from my reg boost gauge to RPD, as well as adding a mechanical boost gauge. I know the mounts on the RPD are COMPLETELY different, so I will write up a how-to (if I can get it to work) on how to mount the RPD to a regular pillar gauge pod, for those who want to do the switch that is, or want a new pillar pod.

It's not as configurable as we'd like it to be. It has "pages" that have certain things on them, but if you want to see a certain combination of things you can't do it. There are also some things it doesn't display that would be nice to have.

Boost gauge is not accurate with Infiniboost. I can be pushing 24-25psi and showing 21-22 (or No Data Available 
). It also doesn't read vacuum in any way.
You can't see both boost gauge and wideband (or any two things at once). You have to keep flipping around pages for them. Sucks when you're trying to troubleshoot.
I'd like to also make sure I'm not knocking (RPD version doesn't work well if at all) and have the ability to read/clear CELs.
Something like a Dashdaq is expensive overkill for what I need and I don't like the unfinished suction cup mounted appearance of it. Just looking for a little more functionality. If Vince or somebody created RPD software that would allow additional functionality I would be happy with that too.

Pretty much any non-analog aftermarket solution to my knowledge. Aeroforce Interceptor, Dashdaq, Dashhawk, PLX gauges, etc.
They are able to read it off the car's databus and in most cases allow you to reset/erase the codes if you'd like too.

So I can see more than one thing at a time. My RPD will mainly have my A/F on it, and I also don't trust electronic boost gauges. I like mechanical better (as they read a lot more accurate than electric). There's also some things I want to see that the RPD doesn't show.

Ohh, alright. I figured that. I thought you meant there was like a circular gauge that showed that. That's why I was confused.
