Default where to mount boost gauge?

i just bought a boost gauge for my supercharger and i dont know where to mount it. I know i want to mount it on the dash, but i was hoping someone could give some advice and pics on where it would be best to mount it on the dash. I was thinking of putting it angled on the top center of the dash like the 350z's have theres. Any advice and pics would be greatfully appreciated!

3 pod on the a-piller i personally think is overkill.....maybe like a 1 pod on the a piller and a gauge consol in the center would be perfect for me.....

no need for EGT, get a Wideband if your worried about how your car is running. EGT would be good if we were running like 14psi on the charger.

Thanks Vito. I don't plan on more than 9psi.
