Default Where should I put my third gauge?

I have a dual pod on my A-pillar now. (97 Integra LS) I need an air/fuel one as well as my others to tune my turbo.

I don't want to spend the ~$60 for the entire triple pod pillar, or add another single pod onto my dual one. What would you guys do? Something cheap....hehe.

no, on the steering column itself, but off to the left side......or i might just bolt it on the dash near the a-pillar so it will be with the other gauges

Hey immortal, that is pretty damn hot. How did you do that? Obviously just looking at it, it doesn't fit, did you have to cut or anything? You do it yourself? Very nice.

it's my understanding that the autometer guages will fit in the cruise control and dimmer **** locations with a little trimming... that is where i plan on having my NOS pressure guage (cruise control location) I already have a start button in the dimmer location. You can just turn on your cruise control and zip tie the button up in the dash somewhere. then it will work whenever you want to mash the steering wheel buttons.

can you even see that gauge when your racing? It's best to keep things closest to eye level as possible. But if you can't live without it just take out your cup holders and do a custom job, i've seen it many times before.

It's the bezel one right? I have heard that they don't fit right with the gauges. However, the pictures of the member's cars with them don't look bad at all. Too bad they cost ~$70. I could buy an entire triple pod A-pillar for that....which is what I was trying to avoid.

Looks like I'm gonna have to suck it up and spend more money.
