RBFIRE Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Hi, I got defected for an after market BOOST controller, (i got a simple T piece unit) so that make that is illegal to have on the car. my question is: a Pillar illegal? I am thinking of geting a pillar to hold my boost gauge. Maybe i just gona mount it where the radio used to sit. cheers, darrien Edited February 24, 2006 by ZXFIRE Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/107212-legalillegal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wink Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 AFAIK A pillar is illegal because the instrument (in your case the boost guage) is above the standard speedo/tacho cluster.

shif_tea Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 dammit, i have hidden my boost controller in the hope that it won't be spotted in the event of a search. Its an avcr, put controller in the glove box and assumed cops wouldn't know what to look at under bonnet. Bummer, may have underestimated them Anyway i'm pretty sure a-pillar mounts are illegal as Wink said cause they're above the dash. It would prolly depend on what policeman u got looking too i guess Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/107212-legalillegal/#findComment-1979744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootchy Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 does any one know for sure about the pillar mount? I asked at the shop who sold me one and he said they were legal but I think the mofo was just spinning me BS to sell me one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/107212-legalillegal/#findComment-1979782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKY 34 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) the A pillar gauges have to be outside of the area of head impact zone...in short...not higher than your cluster....other than that it's illegal... wow the xops must know a lot abt cars to notice yout tvalve...
