gauge setup

I want to see some pics of gauge and other accessory setups. Im running out of room and I need some ideas. I have a dual pillar pod with gauges, a auto meter monster tach, turbo timer, and a APEXi S-AFC. WHere the hell am I going to put a APEXi boost controller?
THanks

Im Ok as far as the gauges go, but I don't have much room for other goodies. I will post a pic of my set-up tomarrow.

Scott: I was thinking of doing the same thing with my extra gauge pod.

Philly: I have my S-AFC where my ashtry was.

I like the set-up there someone had the tach and other gauges inside the insterment cluster. Who evet that was want to sell me one. Im too lazy to make it myself.

Which Apexi boost controller is it? AVC-D or AVCR? You could put an AVC-D where your idiot lights are, or if you had an AVCR, you could put it where the ashtray is. I have an S-AFC and put it where my astray used to be. If you are running out of room, you could possibly put it where your radio is. Just get a single-din head unit and place the controller below it. I have seen this setup with an S-AFC. Or if all else fails, the glovebox. I, too have the Dual gauge pod in my 1990 vert. Actually, I have that and a single pod on the A-pillar. It's the Autometer "86-92" pods. I know that they fit on the verts, but not sure about the coupes.

I just bought a Blitz 60mm Boost gauge. I'd also like to see pics of where people placed their gauges.

Also, whats the easiest way to get the hose to the engine bay and wires to connect the light for the gauge?
