Pillars are the same 98-02. If it's the Auto-meter pillar, and you have the Infinity speakers you'll have to grind the speaker "nub" off, as it relocates the speaker slightly. Then the gauge pillar will mount right over the stock one with a few push pins, or screws.

Alright thanks for the information, I purchased the isspro kit and have aftermarket rockford fosgate tweeters in right now but I bought the triple gauge kit and it looks like the very bottom pod is going to hit the dash, will it clear once I slide it in place?

It'll clear fine, but it IS a tight fit. I'd say theres about an 1/8 inch between my dash and the bottom gauge. That's just how it is. Be patient when you slide it in and snap it on...you dont want to kink the boost gauge hose, or pinch wires,, or break tabs on the pillar. If it dont feel like its going on right, start over!

Alright thanks! So me and my dad are doing some work on my 12 valve we just did the tranny 3200$ later, (I dont think I will have to worry about it going out anytime soon with all the performance parts in it), but were going to do the boost elbow, new injectors- 75 hp, advance the timing, #10 fuel plate, is there anything else you would recommend? Its got a brand new S&B intake on it, 4 inch turboback exhaust already with the stock plate slid forward a little bit.

Sounds like you are well on your way, but I'm a 24V owner, so I have no inputs for ya there. You could always ask specific questions in the 12V bombs forum, where more people will see.

I'm hoping some people that own 12 valves will chime in but they probably have answered these questions a million times I just couldn't find anything with the search function, but thanks for the help man, me and my dad thought we were going to have to ship the pod back.
