Where have y'all mounted your boost guage?
I have considered the pillar mount, dash mount in the coin change hole, and the classic design concepts gauge pod to replace the ash tray. Can't decide.

Anybody got pics of what they did?

BTW, this is for 2008 SCrew.

I went with a pillar mount. I will probably remove it and go with a SCT Livewire and mount the steering column gauge as a backup. That way anyone looking in the window while you drive doesn't think you have anything under the hood.

Im thinking I want to run this one...



The coin change one just would look cool, altho im not sure about loooking down there every time i want to check them... lil side question, Im running the Roush Superchager.. what gauges to get... vac/boost, but what other 2 are most important for supercharger setup? got a good place to buy gauges for semi-cheap

Those look really nice, I would go with a Boost/Vac, Fuel Pressure and a wide-band air/fuel gauge. I'm not sure if you have the steering column mount option, but if you only want to have one gauge, I would look into that route.

Let us know what you end up doing!

also consider a trans temp gauge if you do any towing. with mine, i can really tell what type of driving and loads overheat the tranny.

Smokin,

Where did you get the double A-pillar gauge holder, with handle?

As I don't have a supercharger yet, but would like to plan my custom speaker install around my future plans for gauges.

Thanks,
-Tung
