Where did you put your gauges in your turbo SC?

That is true depending on what the gauges are. Most of my gauges would be more for tuning. Even Boost is not really needed once your car is set up, you would look at it if you were loosing power. Would be nice to have oil pressure in eye sight. Really, the tach and speedo are the most important and they are right where they need to be.
Steal away my friend. Glad you like it.

I guess I just like the jet cockpit kinda look... U know, gauges In Your Face kinda style...Isn't it a pain to reach forward every time when you want to view different stat while driving?

thread bumpski. did most of you use electronic gauges or than mechanical on boost? i plan on replacing all of my factory gauges with aftermarket. speedo ,rpm, fuel, water temp, then adding boost, oil pressure and wideband. would i be able to get all the signals i need from behind the factory gauge cluster?

Well since my original post was deleted for no reason...
here is what I am doing for gauges. Should be done with gauges mounted shortly. I am still finishing up some final things. I have Nordskog digital blue gauges going in to match my Lextech blue clusters.

The reason being because there isn't much more room (I mean mm's) to do that. There is 4 52mm spaces. I did it that way so I could get more gauges. If wanted, we would do it with 3 and probably not be a problem, but then again, we run into spacing issues as it is a tight fit in the recessed area already.

What does that 4 guage pod bolt to? bolt holes that are already present in the chassis/roof, or just to an interior panel piece? I ask because I might be stripping my roof out of the SC, and wondered if it would bolt to the actual metal on the roof somewhere. Thanks
