Default Boost Gauge Options?

Are there any other boost gauges out there other than the vent or a-pillar mounted ones? I know you can get one without a gauge pod but i'd perfer one i don't have to custom mount. Any help would be great, thanks.


P.S. If custom mounting is the way to go any ideas would also be great. thanks again.

winston on audizine has a nice podi gauge with a pod that replaces the trim between the steering wheel and cluster. Its an electric gauge not mechanical so it is arguably better. Its a great package i just dont like the location.

Look it up on Audizine.com search keywords winston, gauge, podi, something like that and youll find it

I guess it matches our gauges pretty good, comes with a remote, only $199. It has programable warnings and features, and because its a stepper motor gauge and not mechanical there wont be any buzzing. Theres only a couple left so if you want it before spring get it NOW

theres also always the cheap route of glowshift. i got the gauge and the pod, which i just mounted in the driver-side corner on the dash, for about $75 shipped i think.

Thanks for the help. I was going to buy a Defi boost gauge in amber red, but that O.CT gauge thats integrated looks perfect! I looked up the EFU 4U also and that is definately an option as well. From these three which would you guys choose?

heres the Defi gauge and pods. i really like this one because of the red glow. It kind of makes it look like it comes with the car.

I also found this which i thought was pretty cool aside from the bulkiness and the fact its been discontinued.

Seriously, in my opinion, I think that the AWE vent boost gauge is the best. It doesn't stick out, it blends in nice, and the color match is perfect.

ok so I have a defi boost gauge and have been searching for a mount for it and like the vent mounts but every place I have looked sells the vent mount with a gauge already. does anyone know of a place that sells just the mount?
