Ezekiel86 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hey all .. Gauge is going in friday for Sundays run.. Could not get the clock replacement from Mearcat in time .. So thinking of putting it low in the drivers side dash vent near a pillar..thoughts on the cop and defect factor ? Or top of steering column offset to right "kinda blocking temp gauge" installers choice ( Mate ) Also left side of steering column under wiper/indicator arms as kidafa said he and chef runs it there? Thoughts on WTF I should do would be fanf*kintastic Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376745-boost-gauge-where-did-you-put-it/page/2/#findComment-6026421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatchiThaStagea Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Also left side of steering column under wiper/indicator arms as kidafa said he and chef runs it there? Any chance that would get hit by your knee? Even maybe by jumping in/out of your car....

bentwagon Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) Im looking into using one of these from an E36 BMW. Fits in DIN slot. Replace the clock with the boost gauge and it will all look tidy.

Daleo Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Im looking into using one of these from an E36 BMW. Fits in DIN slot. Replace the clock with the boost gauge and it will all look tidy. That's very neat indeed; buttons could be used for boost control?

180fan Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Not much of a photo, but thats where I have mine. I personally haven't had any cop trouble for it, but im pretty sure its defectable in most states having it there. Up to you if you want to risk it i guess Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376745-boost-gauge-where-did-you-put-it/page/2/#findComment-6028124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatchiThaStagea Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Nup didnt get a pm buddy. Like 180 said I'm pretty sure it's a defect in our state to have it where he has it, just ask yourself "do I really want to risk it" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376745-boost-gauge-where-did-you-put-it/page/2/#findComment-6028168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekiel86 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 I don't really wana risk it..but they say below eye level and dropped into the vent hole makes it alot lower and hell lower then the dash clock! Getting it put in today at 2:30 and i really can't decide! Lol If not looks like top of steering wheel column offset to right " kinda in front of heat temp" Anyone running one there? Does it get in the way? Photos? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376745-boost-gauge-where-did-you-put-it/page/2/#findComment-6028713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fella Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I run my boost gauge on the side of the steering column, on this side it doesn't block anything except the Rear window demister icon Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376745-boost-gauge-where-did-you-put-it/page/2/#findComment-6028731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a side shot of how the bracket is done? An WTF where do you get the momo wheel? An keept the shift on it looks he'll sweet !

Big Fella Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Momo is a Dayz option, same as the Momo Shift lever That gauge just runs a 90 degree brakcet off of the cup, strange desin, but it means it is screwed straight into the side of the column cover refer to amazing schematic drawn with a specialised CAD program Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376745-boost-gauge-where-did-you-put-it/page/2/#findComment-6028872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatchiThaStagea Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 ^^ looks like there could be some cutting involved to get that to sit nice.
