Install location for Boost Gauges! Let's See Em!

Whether you are going Turbo or S/C, I am interested in where to place a boost gauge (either digital or analog or both) in the Fit. If you have pics, specs and any other feedback about doing this, it would be appreciated!

Those gauge pods fit perfectly on top of the center vents, they look almost OEM. A bit pricey but worth it IMO. I'll try and snap a few pictures of sumo's gauges now that he's Turbo.

Over the top of the vents works fine. No problems with blocked vision as they are low enough that you look right over them and the are not in the way looking out the windshield.

the 3 that i have in my gauge pod are oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp. the blue gauge in front of my speedo is the boost gauge.

These 3 gauges are K's gauges from AJR.

He probably got AJR's gauge pod. It goes for about 250 i believe. A bit pricey but the only one available as far as i know... Thanks for the pic! I'm going to go with this gauge pod and a double din touch screen...

actually i think they are 60mm gauges but i will confirm that later.
anyways this gauge pod is held on by double sided tape, but requires drilling into the dash to run wires.sensors etc.

mugen also makes a similar gauge pod. but its quite more expensive lol
