Question Where to mount boost guage???

Dont say "search" cause I did and the search on this forum sucks and nothing ever comes up for what u are looking for....anyway like the title says I was sitting in my car and there is NO good place for it!! I DONT want one of those gay pillar things, nor do I want it to be hiding any other stock guages...so please, pics of where u guys mounted it would be great...it can give me some ideas! THANKS

you can get a single pod to mount it on the steering column, but the pillars look the best. i have an autometer dual pillar and it looks pretty clean for a rice mod.

I don't know how big it is, but a great spot actually is in the stock gauge bezel, BETWEEN the tach and the speedo. Favor the tach side a little and all you'd really cover up is the Red area on the tach that doesn't matter anyways.


A round thing will obviously take up less real estate than a rectangle, but I can still see everything in the cluster.
PS- That speed was on a track.

its just a normal autometer guage...Im thinking I might just do the single pillar pod...but I gotta find someone that is good at making it look all like one piece...Id like the inside to look as stock as possible

do a pillar pod, definately the cleanest. Or get another gauge, and you could do a new bezel w/a gauge on each side. Those look sick as well. I am gonna get one of those along with my pillar. Need a few more gauges first.
