lk what you think.
1. it sux you have to look so far away to see your boost.
2. get a new gauge cuz that one is fucked.

a pillar gauges are about as gay as sticking your finger in your butt :)
i have mine around my stock gauge bezell. I love it. Although pillar pods cause a lot of attention, very easy to see.

Looks pretty nice, i dont even have any gauges in my car really. I use my TT to watch boost mounted ontop of my steering column. Only other gauge i have is autometer a/f which i know is useless but i got for free so i mounted it into my center console where the switch that switched between outside and inside air was. If i get any more ill put all 3 in those since it looks real flush and nice.

Try watching that thing during a 3rd gear pull.

what the hell do you need to look at it for? Mine is in the vent on my door, you need to check boost, what, like twice ever? Make sure the mbc is set correctly and maybe one other time if you think a vac hose blew off. It's a good gauge to have, but not competely necessary to keep tabs on every second of driving.

yea the a pillar was pretty weak since it had a empty spot in it. But i figured it only takes me a split second to look and see if its at the right spot. But its hardly ever looked at anyway like boost said.

eh..yah damn non-creepers.... its also useful when you change boost settings for track and whatnot, i think my boost stayed the same for about a week, that was probably the longest it stayed the same.

haha sorry Fred, didnt direct it towards you, just a general statement. Who gets boost creep? I sure dont. Just turn the boost up high enough and it wont budge
I crept a little when it was cold out. About 2psi over what it was set for and i have a tial 40. When something does go wrong or you plan on changing your boost, its going to suck having to look so far. Trust me. Your going to shit a brick going WOT and in the need of glancing at your boost gauge.

i've been doing it for over 2 years now and really havent had any issues. It's really not that big of a deal, if you want to look at it, glance down for .4 seconds. Are there places to mount it that are "easier" to look at it? Sure. I was tired of the ricers and cops seeing the gauge pod, so they were all relocated to vents and such. Boost in the door vent, egt in the middle vent, and wideband on the steering column. Works perfect for me, unless your a HORRIBLE driver, you should be able to look at a gauge for a second or two while giving it some gas.

OK Kyle HAD TO BE THAT GUY.
I look at my boost gauge EVERYTIME I drive my car...Anythign to make my driving experince easier I will mount the gauge in a better location.
I agree it's in a Odd spot...But he asked for opinions.

yea im not saying you cant say you dont like it because i simply dont care its my car, you know. But i do like opinions it sometimes helps me relize a mistake or what to expect when people see it.
I want all opinions i just mean if you say its ugly or something its not gonna hurt me i just want to know what people think. Like someone mentioned i rarely need to look at unless i creep and when i did it i didnt really think i needed to look at it to much but yea just say what you like.

hey talha come check out my boost gauge. I have it set to 22psi, it creeps MAYBE to 23 if that. It's tuned pretty good at this point, and I highly doubt I'm gonna blow the motor. Not only did I check it out while going wot, but also had juan stare it down while I wasnt, both of us assured that it held no more than 23 psi to redline, no creep, and the afr is a little rich for my liking, but nothing worth causing harm, and not pulling any timing, so I think my motor is probably safe. As long as your not an idiot and decide to go wot in traffic, there really isnt much on the road you need to pay attention to. Pick a flat, straight road, with a few to no cars on it and give it a go. The second you go wot look at the gauge... wow its at 22psi.... 5k look at it again.... wow, still 22psi..... look at it right before you shift at 7k.... what do you know, 22.5psi.... DONE

Thats kinda why I wanted opinions so people can tell me stuff that i don't know, but yes my boost gauge is going to be relocated later on when i start driving to the steering colum.
