Default Factory looking boost gauge

Would like to install a boost gauge, any good factory looking spots? I know there is a kit that mounts on the top of the steering column but I'm very tall and need the steering wheel at the highest position....so I think this spot may be in my way.

I went the cheap route and bought myself a SunPro gauge and some other small bits and bobs at Pep Boys for around $70 and installed everything myself into my center vent. Took 4 hours from driving to Pep Boys to having the gauge look like this installed:

x2.

Podi if you want an OCDx10000 Audi owner/creator, AWE if you have a B5 and don't want to wait for the Podi to be released.


Dakota, we should copy that picture of his car and you can make it your sig... HDR ftw.

mine is custom as well, better then spending $250 for the kit

Hurry the hell up and slam it then so these girls can be sisters! [8D]

I don't understand why people would pay $250 for this same stuff when they could just piece it together from the list of supplies that AWE gives you on their website (or used to, too lazy to check).
