Fuel Pressure, Manifold Vacuum/Boost, and Oil Pressure on the driver's side a-pillar.

Dual digital EGT's and new wideband will be side-by-side where the factory air vents go. I don't have the 2nd EGT nor the new wideband yet.

Water temp, Oil temp, and Air Charge Temp are where the logicon used to be.

Not the best place from a visual standpoint, but how often do you need to look at the oil temp and pressure, and water temp gauges? Now other types of gauges like boost, AFR, EGT may be another thing.

I made the "mickey Mouse" plate that holds the boost and AFR gauge up top and the above stereo piece was from a run that a forum member made. I can't remember now who that was...

I really wanted to put the oil temp, front and rear EGT in where the warning lights are so it was more in the line of sight but at the time there was no readily available source for a mount in that location.
