Re: Boost Gauges ALL

Actually, that's a pretty popular place to put them. EA sells a VDO with a plate that should work down there, and if not, it's not hard to fabricate.

The problem I see is, why in the world would you ever want a gauge, especially one as reactive as the boost gauge, mounted so far from line of sight? Yes, I know other manufacturers put one in their dash in a similar place. But those that do, have entirely different sight lines. As David M said "A little low, but it has an oem look. And if that location's good enough for the Z3, it's good enough for for my T5" he doesn't really take into account the WAY different positioning of the gauge relative to the driver in the Z3 and the S70. The Z3 seat is set much lower, with a higher dash height relative to the driver's eyes.
