thanks for the ideas so far guys. What do you think about mounting the boost controller inside the armrest, so I can access it easy while driving, has anyone done this?

I never understood keeping gauges to monitor engine stuff where you cant see it?

I want my boost controller and turbo timer to be hidden because of thieves, same with the hondata. I'll probably mount a peak and hold egt gauge in the armrest too and hook up my boost controller to my windshield lever so that when I pull back on it, it will turn the boost to the "high" setting. I don't really see the need for any other gauges.

i understand the theft deterant thing for sure. but if theres something going on i wanna know about it right away . i tried to keep everything in very easy view. the only thing i dont like is how low tthe EBC sits on that panel , it can be hard to see the display at times. Not a big deal becuase most of what it tells me i can see on the other gauges. When it changes color for warnings its pretty bright at night and triggers out the corner of my eye. the main thing i look at on that is when i log at the end of a pull to see the peak and hold boost and stuff

Another in the armrest, nice. I was thinking of putting a greddy boost gauge in the AC vent on the far left side of my car. I think it would look really clean in there, anyone have ideas???

Does anyone have any experience with mounting a boost gauge in the air vent cut out left of the steering wheel. I think this would be a good clean location to use.
