Boost Gauge .. Where Did You Put It?

[Ezekiel86]

Hey all .. Gauge is going in friday for Sundays run..

Could not get the clock replacement from Mearcat in time ..

So thinking of putting it low in the drivers side dash vent near a pillar..thoughts on the cop and defect factor ?

Or top of steering column offset to right "kinda blocking temp gauge" installers choice ( Mate )

Also left side of steering column under wiper/indicator arms as kidafa said he and chef runs it there?

Thoughts on WTF I should do would be fanf*kintastic

Any chance that would get hit by your knee?

Even maybe by jumping in/out of your car....

Im looking into using one of these from an E36 BMW. Fits in DIN slot. Replace the clock with the boost gauge and it will all look tidy.

That's very neat indeed; buttons could be used for boost control?

...and I have just found this one from a Mazda Miata

Looking at doing a group buy if anyone is interested, send me a pm

[Ezekiel86]

ummm did you read my thought?????

Satchi guess my pm didn't work for a change on

My I phone.. Man this Is a great phone lol!

Agree about getting In and out 110% but they where saying on other side..

Think it's great for cop factor but dnt really wanna b looking down there trying to c it..

Where Ru running yours bro?

What's everyones thoughts on the dash vent on drivers side at the near where a pillar meets? Defect or not?

If not as said b4 top of steering col offset on engine temp side??

[180fan]

Not much of a photo, but thats where I have mine. I personally haven't had any cop trouble for it, but im pretty sure its defectable in most states having it there. Up to you if you want to risk it i guess

[SatchiThaStagea]

Nup didnt get a pm buddy.

Like 180 said I'm pretty sure it's a defect in our state to have it where he has it, just ask yourself "do I really want to risk it"

[Ezekiel86]

I don't really wana risk it..but they say below eye level and dropped into the vent hole makes it alot lower and hell lower then the dash clock!

Getting it put in today at 2:30 and i really can't decide! Lol

If not looks like top of steering wheel column offset to right " kinda in front of heat temp"

Anyone running one there? Does it get in the way? Photos?

[Big Fella]

I run my boost gauge on the side of the steering column, on this side it doesn't block anything except the Rear window demister icon

[Ezekiel86]

Cheers Bigfella! Looks good.. My only prob it's the 65 or 66mm one.. Looks f**king massive lol so blocks a little more..

Do you have a side shot of how the bracket is done?

An WTF where do you get the momo wheel? An keept the shift on it looks he'll sweet !

[Big Fella]

Momo is a Dayz option, same as the Momo Shift lever

That gauge just runs a 90 degree brakcet off of the cup, strange desin, but it means it is screwed straight into the side of the column cover

refer to amazing schematic drawn with a specialised CAD program

[bentwagon]

i have often contemplated the spot where the hazard switch is...

[Ezekiel86]

Getting put in now lol

[bentwagon]

my print and stick attempt - just to get an idea...

[SatchiThaStagea]

^^ looks like there could be some cutting involved to get that to sit nice. Be no turning back if you didnt like it

[bentwagon]

I agree, done well it would be great, very tempted.
