Default Gauge Pix

I just bought 2 temp gauges, 1 for oil temp and 1 for water temp. I am thinking about installing them both in the nav cubby location, but I am interested in other locations. I already have the a-pillar with boost, EGT and AFR gauges. I am not interested in installing them in the OEM center console locations. I did a search and did not find but 2-3 different pictures of them in the nav cubby. Post up pix of your gauges located in either the nav cubby or the console somewhere.

check out the black roadster pics in the April issue of Modified Mag. the owner has a sweet setup. in fact, in the future i plan on doing my gauges like him. in brief, he has a custom gauge pod that comes off the right side of the center console and is angled towards the driver. just get the mag, you will like!

This is a good point. I am not planning on putting a boost gauge there as its already in my pillar. I kinda like how the gauges look there though!

I believe a "turbo" gauge is for boost.

My understanding is that both gauges displaying "Turbo" and "Boost" are for the same thing, boost. I am thinking that ones saying "Boost" are for US terminology as the unit of measure is psi. The ones saying "Turbo" is probably for non-domestic applications and they read in Bar instead of psi.
