Noooo!!! I like my clock However, that is REALLY cool, and unique....

I have an empty spot in my gauge pillar though, and I'd like to fill it with the A/F gauge

The clock conversion is actually a pretty neat idea.

What are you guys using for gauge mounting? I have the goofy seatbelts, that I assume would cause some issues with mounting pillar gauges....

Sorry, I meant the gauge.... not sure where to mount the gauge. I'd like to do a pillar mount, but the S5 seat belts would get in the way I imagine?

I don't imagine this will be your only gauge.... And really shouldn't be your first.
From your pic it looks like you have an S5 TII so you NEED and accurate boost gauge. We know off the bat that the S5 temp gauge is worthless. Oil pressure sending units seem to go bad frequently so you might consider that and if you do any performance driving, oil temp might be something you'd also like to keep an eye on.

Boost
WB
Pick one of the others

Get an idot light triple gauge pod. There's a forum member on here (ian99rt) who is/was making some pretty nice units.

I was already planning for a boost gauge. With the bigger exhaust and FCD, stock will be useless. Wate temp would be a good one. You guys just drill on the water pump housing? thermo housing?

Got in touch with Ian, unfortunately, I'm not looking to re-home my idiot lights at the moment. Anyone else have some ideas? I thought about under the radio in the little bin, but I prefer to have the gauges in line of sight.
