Personally, when I get around to getting a boost gauge, I want it to be one of these:

It seems to be the nicest integration with the interior of the car to me, plus it's right there with your other gauges, so you're not looking somewhere you normally wouldn't.

Has anyone seen any gauges in a half moon? I'd like to mount with the actual cluster in the space between the temp gauge and tach. Probably a 3/4" radius.

Personally think the steering wheel mounts are ugly as sin. Fine if you are doing laps with a 5-point harness, but not on my every day driver.

I'd like something that doesn't scream "I'm a fun ride, please steal me" to anyone walking by.

You have a-pillar airbags. If you have a pillar mount and the bag deploys, that gauge is going through your head like a large-caliber cannon round.
