Default gauge options for a 09 sti

Evening all. I asked this a while ago but wondering if anything new has appeared on the market since then. I want 3 extra gauges, oil pressure, oil temp and boost pressure. Not keen on pillar gauge pods or the ones that fit 2 gauges inside the existing console as i would like 3. anyone got any ideas? ideally something that looks quite original factory fit equipment? I've seen pods that cover the centre console clock with a pod but I've only seen ones for LHD vehicles and they point the wrong way for a RHD driver. Any replies are much appreciated. Regards, Steve.

I didn't want to clutter the dash up so I got myself a defi link display , does oil temp , oil pressure , water temp , boost , exhaust temp and speed plus a few other bits ,, put the controller in the glove box and a extra boost gauge in my eye line

Chap on there is working on a BRZ, but the principal is the same.
Use Torque Pro and have digital gauges sent to phone and then mirrored to your double din head unit.

It's got me thinking about it as I would like a set of gauges (but the wifelet doesnt) and I would also like a double din stereo that links to my phone. This option appears to be the best of both worlds.

The screen it's self was only 100 , I already had the controller and senders from another kit ,,, it's not cheap to buy it all really but worth it as it doesn't clutter up the dash and does more than just three gauges would show that you normal get with a dash pod (if they did one)

This is nice for a boost gauge but its very overpriced.

isn't there an App you can get that connects to the service plug under the dash via bluetooth, so you can have any gauge linked on your phone?

Yeah I was going to mount a ipad in the dash and have them on there but I didn't think they were very accurate to be honest and iv always trusted defi so didn't see the point of setting up somthing I didn't trust ,,, iv still got the OBD connector and have it linked up but I just use it to read code or for fun

I wonder if one of the companies making the pods for LHD cars would do a one off run for RHD?

Or maybe not practical due to tooling costs etc.
