Here are mine...BF though for Boost and water temp (not tapped in yet). Not sure yet what to get for 3rd slot. Check out my Defi emblem sticker I got for being accepted on Defi's club listing.

Thanks for compliments for pics, speaking for me and others behalf. One of the main reasons why it's in the center is because there aren't many other places to mount these gauges. Defi BF's and I think the Imperials (not sure about D-Links) are 60mm and most pods for 60mm sizes are for centers pods. I've looked everywhere at time looking for an A-pillar pod for 60mm and couldn't find diddly squat. But now that I've got the center pod, I love it and glad I made this decision (I had no choice really..haha). Of course, your guages should've came with mounting brackets which would allow you to mount anywhere you wish...my BF ones did at least. I still have the brackets but don't need...maybe I can sell them...

Anyhow, if you want to check it out some more info on the center pods, here is the link I got my gauge pod from. They're pricey IMO but super durable n' high-quality:

it is too easy to hit your hand on a pillar mount style.

I agree. road racing and autoxing with a pair of 60 mils on the a pillar was hell....on the new center speaker setup I can actually see the gauges while WOT without taking my eyes from the road. I actually just sold my dual a pillar 60mm gauge pod, I dremeled out a 52mm one.

gotbanned, you are correct, these arent the BFs and are the Link II. I mentioned in my thread that I was adamant about getting a 60mm boost gauge in psi, so I couldnt get the BF. The gauges are very similar, just different backlighting and perhaps a slightly different font. Hopefully my pics were useful to you.

Yah, I end up getting the kPA versions since...well, PSi wasn't available yet. Plus, I never learn to read PSI yet anyways so both metrics were new to me. of course now though, I can convert Kpa to Psi measurements or vice versa...regardless..DEFI is the best!

Never understood why people need soo many damn gauges.
