Digital boost gauge--Who has one?
Question 1:
What are the pros/cons of a digital boost gauge v. an analog? I hear the digital is more accurate or at least reacts faster to changes.
I feel my current anaolg gauge is off in the low rpm/boost range. The blower sounds like its spinning more than enough to be in boost but my needle sits on 0.
I am looking at this one: Digital Boost Gauge
Simple but effective. Who has one and do you like it?
Question 2:
I already have a 3 gauge pod. Boost/Fuel Pressure/Wide Band. I am looking at getting the Aeroforce gauge but dont have a place to mount it. My overhead has rear AC controls so thats a no go. Where do you guys put extra gauges? Over the steering column, in the dash...?

I have small boost and air /fuel gauges mounted to my instrument cluster. They are easy to see and I can see all my gauges at once. They are the little square ones about the size of a key fob on DynoTunes site. Gauges
Another option for you. I have been very happy with mine. They sponsor LS1Tech and may give you a discount if you ask. They gave me a nice discount on my LM-1.

i have the 3 gauge pod as well, but 4 gauges. I just picked up a black autometer gauge cup and mounted it under my dash kinda above my 4wd shifter pointed upwards, looks good and is easily viewable, thats where i put my wideband

I would go the aeroforce route. The one in this video looks cool.

I think these wth blue lighting look better but still not that great

KB-- You have a 2 bar map and custom OS right? You have an Aeroforce gauge? I hear they have an adjustable read rate from 1 to 6 or something. How far off is it?
