Boosting Again
if you want it to be a sleeper you can mount gauges under an aftermarket radio. this is not my car, its a pic i saved a while ago.

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....
