I'm kinda curious as to where you put gauges, and where you mount the turbo timers and boost controllers. Those of you who have this stuff, please post a pic for me. Thanks.

 

turbo timer on the steering column and gauges under the radio.

 

jayspec7 has some mickey mouse gauge holders, one guage on each side of dash erm ****...cant remember word lol. tach, speedo. that big round thing where stuffometers go
*posts before he makes himself more of an ****

 

I Think it looks ok...sorry for the big pics..

stupid dig camer & flash...u can see all the imperfections...owell u know u ghetto

 

what the hell happened to your center console???

 

**hiding in corner cring**the paint i used "wrinkled" more than the can led me to belive...and i hadnt diven the car in a year and 10 months @ the time i finshed...so i said the hell with it and never got back to re-finishin them...ill add it to my ever growin list of stuff to do this winter...

its really noth that rough the camera makes it look real rough...its very soubtle...but its something u have to see to belive

 

I always thought it was silly to mount the turbo timer on top of the steering column..unless it's one of the Blitz units that serve as a boost guage, lap timer, temp guage, and whatever else.

Mine is mounted, down below the ignition and cigarette lighter (you know..where you would hit your knee, if you were REALLY tall. I would take a picture, because I have a really hard time explaining the location to people, but my camera's batteries are dead, and my damn brother lost the charger.

 

Here's an old pic...

But my new setup will be..
- 2 60mm DEFi guages (boost & EGT) in the border gauge panel (micky mouse)
- 2 60mm DEFi gauges (water temp & fuel press) where the factory A/C controls where.
- APEXi Auto timer mounted in panel on top of the radio
- DEFi link control box flush mounted to the left of the radio
- RE steering column gauge mount - undecided gauge.. maybe (oil temp or press)

 

why doesnt anyone make a new steering column to fit this ****. With inserts for each type of popular turbo timer or just a blank one you can cut yourself and with 2 gauge pods, but those would prob get in way of wiper switch and stuff.

and anyone know how hard it would be to make a HUD like in jets and cadis.
Basically put a transparent coating on the lower driver side of your windshield and a type of projector below to show all this ****
would be very expensive but much safer easier and cooler :-D
but to cut down on prices, and make development easier you could just hook it up to a computer
have the time, speed, A/F mixture, boost, 0-60, lap time, etc etc, hell even put up current song and have a MP3 decoder and setup in the computer too :-D

I
MUST
DO
THIS!@$!@$


heh, just noticed that DEFi makes HUDs but oh well they dont have all the features i want lol, would be kinda big.
I'll work on it ;-)

 

i have my boost controlled and turbo timer mounted in my glove box. i have my gauges on the a-pillar.

 

i have 60mm apexi boost in a pillar
turbo timer/boost controller/ o2 voltage are all in compartment above radio (*moved radio to bottom)
i like to hide **** and act like i dont know whats going on and then blow people away....or something......heh

i just dont like all that crap in my face

soon i will be putting in some gauges in a/c control spots, a/c vent (*custom CF pod) and where center speaker is (might split up PFC and mount the display there though).
i have some pics, but need to scan them in and find some place to have host them that will let me link them to here cause apparently shutterfly, photopoint and all those places wont let you. anyone know of a spot??

 

I definitely like the white face gauges and where you mounted the smaller gauges under the radio. It looks tight. One question though where did you get the white gauge faces from?

 

nr auto

 

JaySpec7, which pressu guage will you get? electrical or with an isolator?

 

I goin to have all electronic DEFi gauges..

 

Gauges?
Two on the pillar - Water Temp and A/F
One on the Column - Boost
Shift light on side of column
Turbo timer on tunnel next to right thigh
PFC commander in holster to the right of radio

Crispy

 

Mounted my AVC-r in the glove compartment, boost gauge on steering column, and turbo timer in the spot where the lap vent was (perfect fit).
