Ill find more pics latter. I have an oil PSI gauge under the boost gauge now and a wide band on the top left. I screwed them in and I took one of them out and in an hour you couldnt tell I had a gauge there.

i guess some of you take fashion over function... =/ sorry if you dont like it. Im just giving the guy some option were to put the gauges. besides you dont have to move your head/eyes far to just look at the gauge.

Fashion over function? ever gauge is beneficial, its just a matter of how much you need it.

why not do what some mustang guys do...

buy a cowl hood, and stick as many gauges under the cowl in front of the windshield that you can.




Pimp.

ive seen that done in other American trash before. I think its half assing it. They dont wanna go threw the fire wall so its just mounted on the hood.

i agree, but in that picture all 4 is a must. boost, oil press, wideband, and water temp (because the aem ems eliminates the sensor). Of course water temp is important for FI.

putting on the hood just seems to me calling out "hey their, come take me home with you".
