I think the clock placement is th best place as doesnt look to racey then and more standard.

I was going to put it in the clock area but was concerned I wouldn't be able to see it so I put mine here <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Tartan, that looks just right, how did you fit it there?

the clock area is a good place and its easy to fit there but it really defeats the object of having a gauge if you cant see it clearly. just my opinion <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I put mine up the pillar.

I used 2 of these. Not as stylish as a nomad, but a bit healthier on the wallet.

I have the same guage and it's stuck to the door pillar, easy viewable, though it is blocking the ultrasonic for the alarm. But I have no fobs so that doesn't matter. Though it will when I get the alarm fitted <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Angle it whatever way you want. Its only stuck on.

Here is a bit of a better picture. I did originally have it where the AFM is now (same place as tartandude) however when I got my ebc, I thought I'd get a afm too, so when I got another pod, I moved the boost gauge to the closest one.

I like that position. It looks factory fit. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I want to put mine in the same place as ChrisPR, but bit worried about cracking the paint. Did it crack at all?
Any ideas how i can stick a pod on? The sticker foam thing that comes with it didnt work!

That was my last option....didnt really fancy it, but may have to go down that route. Would prefer to drill the dash but worried about the paint.

It was nerve-wracking cutting a hole in the dash, that's for sure, but it didn't crack the paint. I just used a hole cutter in a drill and it went through a treat.
Measure, measure, measure, measure .. measure again, cut.

I bought velcro pads from Halfords, it works a treat. Still got a heap left over. If you want one pm me your address and I'll send over one to you <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As per ChrisPR -

boost gauge <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

In my current coupe though, mine is in the same place as Tartandude's <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
