Default Where is everyone putting their gauges?

Fuel pressure, Boost, A/F.

I'd love to NOT have to spend 900 canadian on 3 gauges but I'll go nuts not being able to monitor everything.

I forget what autometer series of gauges i was looking at..Elite series or somthing with an E? they have the 2 soft buttons on the bottom of the face. I'd like all 3 to be of the same series.



Anyways I know "A pillar" mount is an option but I'm just wanting to see what everyone else is doing with their gauge setups.

i've thought of having them mounted right in front of me on the dash, pretty much up against the windsheild. Obviously we all want clean installs too!



post up some pics guys!

In the dash for the boost/vac gauge and my NGK AFX afr "box" gauge sits on top of the steering column. I'm not a huge fan of the pillar pods to be honest for security reasons I suppose. I don't run a fuel pressure gauge. As long as the AFR is good, I don't really need to bother with what the FP is. These pics don't have the AFR display present obviously.

I put mine in the a pillar on my 03. I hate it. Its right in the way, and it hits my visor when I pull it down. I'd do it different if I do it again.

I have my AFR and Boost gauge in the cubby on the roof, I guess it's just a sun glasses holder thats all i ever used it for before. and i have a aeroforce scangauge in the cubby to the right of the ac control unit. i didn't wanna go the a-pillar way so i did everything i could to avoid it.
