Default Hidden Nitrous Guage

I'm thinking of installing nitrous, my question is where would a good place to mount the gauge out of sight? I will have a wideband and fuel pressure guage in a pillar pod. I just don't want to avertise that I have nitrous. Want the inside to look stock. I was thinking of in the glove box but still want the option to return the car to stock with out holes everywhere. Any sudjestions?

Ashtray. I have seen switches made that fit the ashtray, and have a digital nitrous pressure readout.

My wife came up with the idea.

Yeah - it's the dynotune gauge. I love it. It was easy to install and relatively cheap. Thanks.


I was asked for more information on the install

The gauge has a little lip where the display sticks out of the plastic ~1/16th of an inch. I pulled out the pocket and cut a rectangle out of the back of it the same size as the screen on the gauge. I stuck the screen through the rectangle and taped it to the pocket. The gauge is behind the pocket with just the screen sticking through.

Hope that helps.
