Default looking for gauge mount ideas....

well i have an 08 with the curtain airbags so an a-pilliar is out. i have been trying to think of ideas to mount 2-3 gauges. if i go FI, 1will deff be boost, 2nd will be A/F meter, and if theres a decent set up for a 3rd, id have no clue.... maybe EGT so the turbo dont run too hot.

you can get an ait e-pod that mounts on the center above the a/c vents, or you can get a single din radio and mount them in the radio cubby. you can mount one in the radio cubby.

lastly, you can mount on on the steering column, right on infront of the speedo. i saw a tc with a boost gauge there, it was right in the center so it only blocked the odometer, and the kph readings, but you could still see the mph numbers on the speedometer.

cant do a din arrangement with my navi. i was thinkin about a basic pod arrangement down by the shifter above the shifter and beneath the radio. im thinkin 2 pods, boost and a/f, then putting the aem f/i controller behind it all (if theres room, i have no clue how big things are) and stillhave laptop access

quick question, would you rely on AFR readings from an aem fic hooked into my lappy? i notice when i load the software it gives me all my gauges.

only thing im missing now is the actual aem fic... lol
