Default Gauges In the Glove BOX?

Has anyone put Gauges (Boost, Temp, Oil ect.) in a glove box before. Ive heard of it being done before but i was wondering if anyone had any pictures of it. Also if anyone knows any other places in an EK that is not as noticable to put gauges.

do u actually want to be able to read the gauges? if so i wouldnt put them in your glove box. what about putting them in your center console where the opening is for cupholders right under the dash?

Yeah thats true about it being in the glove box i wont be able to read it. I guess i could make something to hold 2 gauges for that area past the cup holder. boost and temp i guess. i also need to mount a boost controller and turbo timer

i have seen alot of turbo timers mounted right between the gauge cluster and steering wheel which might be ur best area being that there isnt to many places to put things with that dash. as for the gauges lol (i just went to sit in my car and i dont think u'll be able to fit the gauges in the slot) ur best bet might be to just get a pillar pod or one of the pods that replace your steering column cover. u know which one im talking about?

yeah im going for the hidden look tho, cuz the cops in my city know everything now. so if they see anything with boost, or weird electronics they will ask to pop hoods

http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/AUM20010.htm thats what im talking about. i would do that. it looks oem too. and if ur using an si gauge cluster just get black face gauges if u want it to look as close to stock as possible a dumb cop will never know.
