turbo guage placement
turbo guage placement
where does everyone mount their guages....like boost and such....i have one and i want ideas to where the best place to place this cool lookin gadget....pics if u can..thanks
nice....hows the visibility from the outside?....i want something that u cant really tell...as is the previous owner mounted it on the A pillar...which i think is just obvious........my goal is to make this a sleeper
dont like that idea for 2 reasons.....1.hard to see and 2.hard to see...i do keep a keen eye on the boost everytime i drive now....i found out i save insane amounts of fuel if i keep the pressure at -10mmHg...so i def want it to be in someplace where i'll look often...as is i have the headunit layout memorized..so dont need to look to change stations/tracks....im thinking how bout on the stock guage itself?.....the inside the tachometer right under neath "4" and above the needle pivot point?

I'm assuming that's a custom job? Got pics? I know the FD has one on the steering column but the only other one I have seen on a FC was in the picture of the border mickey mouse dash cover with the pod on the column also.

Here's how I did it..
I didn't like the A-piller look either, I am more of an out of sight out of mind type person...
This is my current setup:

This new setup I did was easier to read, and I put in the LED's for code checking.. Incase it happens on the road. I liked the way it worked out.
My first setup was pretty similar:


(NOTE: The two gagues are in a test mode, not pegging out and blowing up my motor =P )
But as you can see, having the gauges down that low was pretty annoying to read...
I'll eventualy have a writeup on this.. I took pictures on what I did but just havent had the time to make a writeup yet...One day....
