Gauge placement..

I've got a great picture of my dynotune boost gauge mounted... only problem is I can't get the picture saved small enough in order to get it mounted. If anyone knows how to get it to 100kb, let me know or I'll send it to you via email and you can post it. Also got my boost controller in the picture.

2 1/16 gauges dont fit in the A/C vents so i hope you bought 2 5/8 gauges..... I have my Boost in the A/C vent and my Elec. Fuel Pressure gauge in the A-Pillar..... my Elec Boost controller will be in the other A/C vent down the road....... Put the LC-1 in the bottom pillar mount and the elec Fuel Pressure gauge in the top one.... FYI an Elec gauge is the ONLY way you can legely runa fuel pressure gauge in the cab......

I have my boost, A/F, and fuel pressure mounted in the A-pillar using a triple gauge pod for 2 1/16" gauges. I have 2 5/8" tranny temp and oil temp gauges in my far left A/C and center/left A/C holes.

I mounted mine in the gauge pillar. It's easy to see and is a clean easy install. If you're after the sleeper look obviously you'll want it somewhere else though. Electrical gauges are easier to install since you're just running a few wires instead of lines, but they're more expensive.
