Default Inconspicuous Turbo Boost Gauage???

I see that AWE offers a boost gauge, so does APR, etc.
These to me are still too conspicuous. I want something that is well hidden. I rarely need to even look at the boost gauge, but I want the ability.

Glove box?
Under the hood?
Anywhere else?

Thanks!

uh, what good is a boost gauge under the hood? I dunno about you but I don't often ride inside the engine bay when I'm trying to see how much I'm boosting.

But yeah, if you're worried about the look of the gauge get something digital like the blitz and mount it under the dash or in the arm rest or something.

exactly what i was thinking about the under the hood idea. a sweet spot would be in your sun visor so its facing you when you flip it down. wire it through the door pillar and it would be rediculous

and it would look retarded having vac line strung into the visor, not to mention it'd be kinked like a bitch since the visor is so thin.

it'd be even cooler if you could get your screen inbetween your mph, and tach to have an option that displays instantanious boost, like your mpg...
