Boost Gauges

[fat-lad]

hi people, just a quicky, fitted a boost controller today and running a heathy 9psi,

going to fit a gauge this weekend and wondering where you have mounted yours and what sort did you get ie electric - mechanical and how hard was it getting the hose/cables through to the engine bay,

any help from you stagea gods would be awesome its a s1 by the way

Check out Clock replacement pod

Just watch the depth if mechanical or autometer gauge.

had mine down low to start with....really sucked down low.....now it's on the front pillar in my line of site.... naturally without blocking my line of vision.

[fat-lad]

looked at putting it on the pillar but there are some ugly ass mounts around and dont want it to look S**t in the cabin

[M I K E]

mine is on top of the steering column. couldn't think of a better place for it either

here are a couple of pics of mine. defi boost gauge with the defi gauge holder. mounted to the dash near the a pillar with double sided tape.

QWK32 looks sweet, mine wont be a defi gauge though lol, looks like u put the cable through the top dash vent, looks neat, how did you go about getting it through there was hard??

mate put his under his cd player.. where the spare pocket goes.. looks good 3 gauges but

Here's mine:

looks in the way up there, i did look at them but in my opinion the whole mount looks cheap, think i may go pillar mount or like QWK32 done. just need to find a good looking mount, and a good looking gauge 2moz. ill post pics up of mine when its done!!!

I am installing mine in the rh side of the centre vent. I have taken out the movable vanes. I guess I am lucky to have a spare vent if I want to return it to stock. Its an electrical type with the sender mounted on the engine bay.

I would have liked to have it on top of the dash but it would look rough from the other side (i.e. looking in through the windscreen). Plus I want my car looking as stock as.

My last one was mounted below the radio but its too far out of the line of sight...especially when you're trying to adjust your boost controller and coming up to a bend at ###km/hr!

Made my own ,out of fibreglass and vinil and put it between the pillar and the vent...looks a little bit rought but its hard to catch at first sight

The line for the sensor comes trought the dash an the cover of the side panel

clock mount looks cheap, and clocks are useful for time :S

mine is built into my turbo timer, so i just set a warning on it.

+1 for clock replacement i have boost and oilpressure in mine its not in the way and once in it almost looks like was meant to be there

nah i just run the cable down the side of the dash in the corner. defi's are all electric gauges so i had no vacuum line to worry about. here is a pic, just ignore the dirty windscreen

if i could post the pic of what i wanna do but cant cause its a bitmap.

where the ash tray and lighter is, put a 3din in there and have oil temp+press and boost. but need five gauges all so it might change.

was thinking 2 in each corner of the cluster. plenty of room in there to fit them.

(thread steal) post up all your gauge setups people. be nice to get some pictures to some of our ideas

i have a mearcat one that looks like this. Very subtle IMO and easy to see.

When I bought mine some one had already made up a pod thing which i don't mind but it is a bit low, It is nice and neat and out of the way and wouldn't be

to hard to make

[alu-siv_stagea]

just like MIKE my gauge is on the steering column, electronic so no hoses to worry about.
