Mine is cut into the plastic interior piece right in front of the shifter (just when it begins to bend upwards). Sorry I don't have a pic...

mine looks exactly like speedkings. doesn't bother me at all, just stuck it with some double sided adhesive tape. although, my turbo timer is silver, and I like that black one better, and I dont have spiffy gauges. I need some.

perfect place is the air vent under the steering column. you can even see it there which is a plus because thvies dont see it when they look into your car.

don't have a pic right now, but i mounted mine underneath the stereo head unit behind the little flip down door (if that makes sense) just cut a little hole in the back with hot knife and mounted with the double sided tape.

also i heard of some people mounting them in the "crotch vent"

Yeah mines in that little air vent under the steering collum as well. I love it, it's out of site but easy to get to as well.

BTW: i have the greddy one and it fits in there perfect, no tape or anything.

mine is under the little flip down pocket. its a really good place to have it. It's out of sight when you want it to be, but its also easy to access as well.

Thanks.

If you notice, by the steering wheel an obstructed "26" on the odometer, the car only has 26,XXX original miles. I bought it with 23K in near mint condition, and I'm trying to keep it that way.

Hey SpeedKing, does your HKS Type 0 have red lighting, or did you just catch it in the countdown? Mine is bright blue and I mounted it in the same location and it is very annoying at night (I may move it). I actually mounted it there because my car is Canadian and the speedo is in KM and it is nice to use the TT as a speedo (mph readout). I use it for this function much more than the actual timer. The bright blue is too much for me at night and I may move it (to the crotch vent) and go back to reading the small mph numbers (inside ring) on the speedo.

Why in gods green earth do you have a 40psi boost gauge. 10 bucks says you only use 15 psi of that gauge anyway?


shheeesh.

My gf is the same way, actually has those exact gauges in those exact positions.

I hate it.

To nicely match the 300 degree water temp gauge?

The HKS Type-0 is amber (or orange, whatever you want to call it) backlit (like the stock dash), but flashes red when it counts down.

What kind of a question is that?! How come you didn't ask why my water temp. gauge goes to 300 degrees and say that I only use it up to 220?
