Could people post pictures of where their boost gauges are located?

Are there any decent (but cheap!) built in door pillar pods assailable for Q4s?

I've got my boost gauge on the A-pillar but the cradle is rubbish and looks pants...

Thanks, I've got a switch there now but thought about the other side of the wheel...do you find it's obscured by the steering wheel?

what about on the steering column? Easy to mount, easy to see and if you don't like it - easy to change!

Not too bad really, may have to sit up a bit to get a perfect view when the wheel is centred. Its a bit difficult to read it when cornering, but then again I think that would qualify as very dangerous driving.

when making the hole left of the steering wheel, anything to look out for,? or is it just open behind there, and nothing to worry about?

No, there's a bit of reinforcing plastic you'll need to deal with....I met this when installing my extra fan switch...just cut it out :smile:

Mmm, that's a possible....also gives me a chance to play and make a nice housing for it :cool:

Mine is here...on the speaker "mount" mounted in a case which you can buy in almost every styling/tuning shop.

I've bought an all-round (3 gauge) mounting for the A-pillar, and also the facing piece of plastic on the inside of the A-pillar.
The plan was to modify this with glasfiber and make it look nice and smooth, and last cover it with something similar to what it is originally covered with.. :)
