Default How Have You Mounted Your Boost gauge?

How have you mounted your boost gauges? Im looking to install one, where is the best place to mount one? Which manufacturers gauges keep OE look? I have the Quattro sport with the silver dials, blue illumenation and red needles? Oh and what kind of range would i need, preferably in PSI? Im in the UK so RHD not sure if that matters! Any ideas?

Best OE look is the one in the vent. If you have the money, it's the best bet.

I have my Boost gauge on my steering column. It looks stock as well. Just as long as you dont look at the details.

can also put it on the A-pillar so it's stuck in the corner if you want... little cheaper

the one that Aznpulse ^^^ his is probably what you're looking for price-wise...
Try a local shop if you have one, I know my shop sells a whole kit w/ the pod for $80

PM BarryT82 and maybe you can make a deal. I was going to buy his gauge kit, but he lived so far that shipping fee+paypal fee wasn't worth it. He has a VDO gauge with everything (I believe) except for the pod ^^^

Hope this helps...

Here's mine. I know - the picture is terrible. It's very cheap, but the install looks clean. I removed the center vent and used the POS mount that came with the guage. Total cost including guage= about 30 bucks.
