i just installed my new DEFI BF series boost gauge, very nice!!!! but i was wondering for all you guys with the DEFI gauges, where did you mount your control unit??? where i have mine is TEMP right now til i can find a good place.....what ya think....
im in the middle if converting all my gauges to black backgrounds....to match the dash...

Looks good man. I have the Link Controller, but managed to stop myself from buying anything else as the BF series are so expensive.

Most people I have seen mount the link controller in the butterfuly cupholder hole. It takes some cutting but it does fit

Looks awesome though,
Jonny

Get rid of that damn cup-holder...it's useless! LOL at least mine was, if I put anything in it from say...a fast food place, it would easily tip right over on a turn...SO yeah, that is where my DEFI controller is.
