The only other spot I can think of is the console near the shifter, under the cd player. Has anyone else mounted them there? I would get one with a alarm, so no need to look at all the time.

When I add the oil temp I will move the boost to the middle and put the oil temp where the boost is now, with then both slightly angled towards the driver. If I feel really adventurous I will make some type of panel to stop anything falling in behind them. Probably out of perspex with the back side painted matt black.

02/06/09 11:35 AM02/06/09 11:35 AM #8 my boost gauge is ontop of the dash in the usual spot, im lucky to read it twice a year I reckon lolOnly check it out if the car seems to run funny, just turns out to be a bloody hose come off somewhere again!
02/06/09 04:01 PM02/06/09 04:01 PM #9 Author Yup I dont think you need to constantly watch the gauges, more of a distraction from the road if anything. I just want oil pressure and boost guages to check out every now and again. Jimmy are those gauges 52mm and are they sitting in a gauge holder or are they a nice fit without a gauge holder ?
03/06/09 06:05 AM03/06/09 06:05 AM #10 The manual says they are 71mm the outer dress ring and 60mm body. Yes I am using the gauge holder. I am also going to add a button in the spare spot on the dash under the fog light button, so I can turn the light off at night..when cruising it can be a bit distracting.
