Boost Gauge

[Hypnotized]

Whats up guys? I have done some searching and havent found the answer to my question. Where are you all installing your boost gauges?? I noticed one member on this forum installed his in the middle of his dash. The install looks sweet as hell but all I need is one gauge, I know we cant install one on the A pillar do to the air bags so what are the options? I was actually thinking of maybe in the left drivers side air vent. Not sure what else but thats why im asking. If anyone needs to know why I want I gauge its because I like to know whats going on with my car. I had an MSP and I would pop leaks pretty often so it was helpfull to diagnose my issues fairly quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I and desperado-c installed ours on our steering column.. just a touch off center to the right. My gauge blocks the High Beam light and seatbelt light but thats all.

Same here. Mine is a bit more to the right perhaps, as it blocks my mileage readout only.

These 2 pics are Desperado-C's install. Mine looks almost identical though.

man those boost gauges look tits!

 

[spedwards]

Is "tits" good?

 

[nocoastgangster]

tits is great.
I like how the gauge is off center so you can see all of the speedometer, but it's still positioned so you don't have to move your neck too much.

lol, OK! Will have to try that one out some time =D

Did you put it on the lower part or right at the top where it's raised? I'm looking at mine but if I move the steering wheel it will hit the gauges

On the top. I actually bent the mounting bracket so that the last 1/2 inch follows the bend where it drops to the lower part of the column. Makes it the perfect distance from teh steering wheel but allows me to see almost all of my gauge cluster. THat pic isnt an exact replica of what i see from the drivers seat, but its close enough.

damn you all.. making my autometer gauge look even MORE ghetto than it already is..

 

[spedwards]

At least it's not an Auto Gauge one! That's right outta the street...

 

[nocoastgangster]

Dont feel bad Nutari my motor is jealous of your motor as well as my pocketbook being murderously jealous. My gauge just looks at stock boost and goes "meh, same ol same ol." Your gauge goes wow your ass is fast. SO dont feel too bad about a gauge. LOL
