Those with single gauge pods... I have a single autometer 2 5/8" gauge pod with autometer gauge here:
My problem is, actually connecting the 4AN line to the gauge and having the gauge fit in the pod itself. Once connected there is not enough room for the line to bend without the gauge protruding 1/2" out of the pod. I tried using a 90 degree fitting and it still was a little too long. What did everyone else do?

What gauge do you have? Were you using a steel braided hose?

Yeah I am using steel braided through the pillar. Its a different gauge though. IMO it should still be able to fit if you place the hole in the right spot. It was a bitch to get right.

i can't throw it in there cause I alraedy drilled holes in my A-pillar for the pod/ nitrous line.
It's just one 14ft piece. I do havea tee fitting with another 2 footer and a 12 ft for the main line but they're not for sale

90 bend is still too long. it still rubs and the gauge doesn't fit all the way in. i just don't know what everyone else did so that's what i'm tryin to figure out. maybe a 45?

45 sounds good but I don't want a 1000 psi hose near my face. For the money you have into it you may have just got the dyno tune gauge. Side not go to your auto parts store and ask them to look at the brake line fitting section maybe have it .
