Hello Q4 friends!

I have recently invested in a boost meter, but i'm not sure where i should put it. I don't want it to be to much in the open, but at the same time i want it to be functional!

Pictures and tips are welcome!

Five weeks until i get my license back :D :twisted:

I'll second that place. Pretty easy to install (well as easy as anything ever is in a Q4) and it falls into your line of sight.

For some reason, the last owner installed it in the left-middle vent! It looks awful and falls all over the place. As soon as I've got a bit of cash, Im getting an A piller mounting one, probably put a voltometer in at the same time

Thanks guys :D
Nice one to the left of the steering column! I'm a bit unhappy with the idea of making a hole in my dashboard, but it looks very nice! I also thought about putting it in the left-middel vent, but i hav changed my mind! I must let this sink in a bit before i deside!

I probably never could make a hole in the dashboard... for me it's a crime. Call me nuts...
I actually have the boost meter in a provisory way. But the place it's going to be in the left corner, and were windshield and dashboard are ecountered. I will take a pic, but no it's poorly mounted. I'm planning making a sort of pod and fit it as stock.

I could also mount a pod on the triangular piece on the driversdoor inside of the sidemirror on the A-pilar. Then i will se it and it doesnt show so much from the outside!

yep i put mine on the right of the wheel cutting the dash and will eventually fit a fuel pressure one to match on the other side.

As some of you might now, I produce these aluminium covers for the 155.

And on request I can leave the middle one uncut, so you can individually place your gauge(s).
