    the usual place people mount their guage tends to be in one of the central air vents and others mount it in a pod on the steering column see jamo's thread jamo's guage

      centre pod for me, though you'll probably need to pop out the vent and mage a suitable blanking plate for it to mount too. Also, if you want it flush with the other vents you might find the pip running off the back with not allw the vent to be openned or closed fully.

      HTH,

            If you have time to watch the low mounted boost gauge then your car is too slow. IMHO. It's the worst place.

                      Yup, a miniscule 6' 2" matey

                      You may find that if you are shorter, you could not see this through the wheel, but having the seat further back makes it perfect - although you will now have to glue blocks to your feet to reach the pedals

                      Cheers n
