Default A-Pillar gauges on B6

So i'm about to pick up an amulet red 2002 A4 1.8t and i'm just foolin around online lookin for stuff, and i can't seem to find a 2 podgaugepillar for a B6 anywhere? i'm thinking about putting the auto meter DPSS in one pod, and the whistlerfuzion radar detector in the other. Anyone know where i can getone for it? Thanks..

Not un-less you want to eat the gauge pod when the airbag goes off, there is usually a reason people won't sell/develop a product, especially if will take your head off.

What he said.... dual pod will run up in to where the airbag is in a-pillar.
I made this one from a Civic a-pillar pod. But i made in a way to be pushed down to the far corner, which is way out of the way from where the airbag is behind the pillar. This is a bad pic and wasn't completed yet. Looks pretty nice now. Waiting onheadliner materail to cover it with to macth pillar.

I do not recommend apillar gauges on audis, due to teh airbag. It will become a killer projectile if the airbag deploys.

Ditto. But mine is way down in corner and airbag doesn't come within about 4-6" of it. And if airbag deploys, it will push mine through windshield, not in to me.

Yeah well i had read about this in some other posts when i searched for it, but i wasnt sure whether or not this A4 had airbags there, guess so. Have any of you guys had any experience with the two electronics i mentioned above?
Also, this car does not have an intake on it, but before i ask my question... it has an audi Ko4, new injectors, a forge DV, custom exhaust, DSMI.. and some other things that i cant think of off the top of my head... but i was wondering if i got an intake how much it would add to performace? The owner said he wouldnt reccomend buying one, it wont hurt it but its probably gonna be a waste of money..
I just want the PSSSH when i go to shift haha except i dont know how loud it'll be? cause aren't DV's used to decrease exterior noise of the turbo?
Ultimately i want the exterior noise somewhat of that of a blowoff valve.. will i get that if i just add a carbonio intake?

I'm moving from one extreme to another
my last car was a 1998 jeep grand cherokee 5.9 ltd so i'm going from american muscle to euro tuners with all this turbostuffi dont quite understand yet, plus i'm 17
so please bare with me hahaive tried searching and cant seem to find what im looking for
