The fitment for the interceptor gauges in the top 2 holes were a little snug. But with enough finagling I was able to get both to fit and align the way I wanted. I was also able to attach the back support but I had to push on the front of the gauge to hold it in place while I attached the back support to keep it in place. Hope this helps.

Everyone puts the stock boost in the normal position, can you buy any matching aftermarket boost gauge to fill that spot or is that sized only to fit the OEM boost gauge??

OEM Boost gauge is a standard 2 1/16" gauge, so any 2 1/16" gauge will fit in there, you'll just have to cut off the stock mounting that the stock boost gauge uses. Easy enough to do that, though.

they really only make the bottom one to fit the aem gauges. when they are installed they are probablly more angled twords the driver the other gauges are. the tc gauges are the cn gauges. i run 3 of these.

neato I just bought my Aeroforce interceptor on black friday from ZZP along with a 2 pod A pillar for the sedan. I hope its quality is close to stock. I want it to look like its factory.

So is it possible to have the stock boost gauge along with AEM Wideband in this pod? From what I've gathered, the two are the same size and will only fit in the bottom hole. Will I have to do some modifications to a hole in order to fit both gauges? Any help or links would be great

Same happened to me. ZZP Said I could either sand down some of the pod, and/or just push the gauge harder. So I pushed the gauge harder, it's not 100% in, but you can't tell unless you really look at it. I coudlnt get the metal holder in the back to hold, but the closeness and tightness of the pod holds the gauges in just fine.

I just installed my Aeroforce gauges tonight and noticed the same problem. The bezels keep the gauges from sitting flush in the pod. What I did was open the holes up a little with the dremel, then cut one of legs of the metal brackets a little shorter (1 cm) than the other and bent it inward. What that does is allow the bracket to make flush contact with the rear of the pod, and pull the gauge in when you tighten the nuts. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow. They're almost perfectly flush now.

Thanks for the descriptive thread, I just got my zzperformance triple pod today. I am gonna install it here soon. I do have a question though, when installing the AEM eugo did you guys weld a bung onto your dp? Or just wire it directly into the cars o2 or obd2?

Me too! I had to just PUSH the Interceptors into the gauge pod and they stuck on their own so I didnt use the metal thing.

Anyone ever keep track or count the number of times some one asks a question that the awnser is in the provided documentation?

I'm sure ZZP does,
I wired mine into the pink wire on my boost gauge (Thats the boost gauge power wire)

When installing these gauges do we have to splice wires and stuff. My worst thing to do is electrical.

Only if you buy the sensor kit to go with it. For that money you should just buy a aem uego
