Looking for some ideas on a cool spot to put boost gauges on my 99 ek. Where did you guys put them?

Define cool. How many boost gauges do you need? I'm going to assume you are actually boosted.

^ lol. You need as many as possible. jkjk

What else do you have in your interior? Is your stereo in the climate bezel spot or relocated down to the cupholder area? I guess even if it isn't relocated if you have the right adapter or if you fab up something yourself you can put it/them right under your stereo. If it's relocated you have a huge space to work with.

There's always pillars, gauge bezel, the cupholder area/sunglasses holder area can have a plate fabbed up to fit them down there.

It's all personal preference. "Cool" shouldn't be a factor on gauge placement really...just don't make the **** really tacky and don't screw holes into your dash in parts that would cost alot of money to replace.

under the seat so it's sleeper.

seriously though i think there is a cluster/interior thread somewhere in the appearance forum that should give you some ideas!

ive seen one in the driver side air vent. it was a del sol so it's round and it fits but its a nifty spot.

That actually sounds pretty nice ^

a nice idea is a tunerview in where the radio would otherwise be(upper din) it displays boost and a whole lot more....depending on your EMS, you can program your oil pressure through it too.

lol yeah im going to be running 3 gauges. boost/oil pressure/ and air fuel...

I liked how my teggy had the little cruse control and light dimmer switches, it was perfect for gauges. Looking for a spot in the ek now.

So let me define "cool" an easy spot for me to easily monitor the gauges during a race but at the same time a little hidden! Thought of moving the radio down to the cup holder and fabing up something with 3 holes that would fit where the old radio goes and put gauges there.. might hide it with the jdm stereo delet thing i've seen.

This.

I say go with a TunerView unless you're set on getting gauges. monitor 8 different different functions at once on the TVII screen. This is how i have mine set up.
