Add the vital gauges MINI forgot with the ALTA Performance™ Gauge Pod.Crafted specifically to the contours of the R56 Tachometer, the pod provides a sturdy and convenient place for the supplied 60mm electronic warning gauge.

The interior of the new MINI is both luxurious and functional. Nearly anything the driver might want is within an arms reach. However, BMW failed to include vital information such as boost level (Cooper S models), oil temperature, and exhaust temperature, etc. Additionally,no convenient space was left for adding additional gauges.

When building your MINI into a heart stopping show machine, a weekend racer, or a tuned precision vehicle, monitoring the engine condition is crucial. ALTA Performance™ has solved this problem with the introduction of a cost effective way to mount up to three additional gauges without having to destroy your cars interior.

ALTA has expertly crafted the pod so the tilt function of your steering column is maintained without binding or damaging the dashboard. Simple adjustment of the steering column will allow drivers of all sizes to enjoy a clear view of their new high performance gauges.

The ALTA Performance™ R56 style gauge pod simply attaches to the back of the tachometer utilizing existing mounting points.  Your tachometer,dashboard, and steering column are not damaged in anyway! This is completely reversible at any time!

This package includes a  Water Temp Gauge, Temperature Sensor, Pod,wiring, mounting hardware and instructions. The gauge is a full 60 mm,electronic and has a warning alarm (visual and audible) as well as a peak function to show the max pressure achieved. These can be adjusted or reset at anytime.

Backed by the ALTA Warranty, customer service and tech support this is a real value at this price! Questions? Just let us know. Happy to help via e-mail, AIM, fax or phone!

Gauges:

These allows you the driver to keep your eyes on the road (or track) as necessary then review the recent events at the push of a button. Also, these gauges are truly divorced from the engine. No oil,boost, etc. passes the firewall. Preventing the possibilities of leaks that could damage your interior, cause a fire or worse! The large 60mm(2.36") dial is easy to read because of the clear markings and wide270deg. sweep. The gauges are backlit in white during the day and amber at night. The backlighting, needle color and bezel all perfectly match the OEM lighting and colors in the MINI. No other gauge combo does this! An illusion of a factory appearance combined with a variety of information is an ideal upgrade to your MINI.

    Peak: Anytime you wish to recall the max value for the system you are monitoring a quick poke of the command button and that value is displayed. Want to clear it? Simply press it and hold to relieve it.

    Alarm: Similar to the Peak you can program the gauge to alert both visually and or audibly that the max value you have chosen has been reached or exceeded. This is a NICE feature!
