I have it placed there now, it stays just fine.. the only reason I need to really mount it is that I don't want it sliding around and getting scratched :)

I have a boost gauge and plan to get gauges that i need. i dont want crap for looks. SO OIL PRESSURE AND EGT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT?? i dont remember what egt stands for can someone help me out.

i'd say oil pressure and egt are more important than a fun tach or oil temp

oh if you want a sweet fitting wideband for our cars, the NGK/NTK Powerdex AFX wideband fits almost snug in the spot where the ashtray goes.. I'm either going to cut a big hole in the ashtray, basically carving out the entire thing because it's that close to being a perfect fit, or just make a new piece out of plastic or something to make it snug.

Yea the wideband is good too. It can help you with tuning. Not sure of the reasoning behind an EGT gauge but I would think that if the exhaust is getting insanely hot you would want to know about it so you dont burn s*** up.
 
Exhaust Gas Temperature. Monitoring your oil pressure is important so that you know the turbo has 50+ psi (something like that) of oil pressure when it's spooling. Oil temp, at least IMO, isn't incredibly important since the MSP has an oil cooler.

I'd definitely have wideband, oil pressure, boost.

you can get teh NGK wideband that I have and then you don't have to worry about finding yet another place to fit a gauge.

the ngk wideband is like 260something from www.boostcontroller.com

it isn't a round gauge though, it's rectangular with just a numeric display.. I gotta get a pic of it sitting where my ashtray was though, it looks/fits nicely!
