But the point is, it is STILL after. Just getting information from your gauge is simply more difficult while driving. You can't get real time information unless you look quite a bit away from the road. I mean, besides personal preference, there is absolutely no advantage to mounting down there. You are wasting 90% of the function of this gauge if you only use the max boost recording. Yes, you can still see it while driving if you wanted to. But if I were in a racing situtation, the last thing I would want to do is look that far away from the road in front of me.

I am not saying it's a bad idea, just that I wouldn't consider it. Personally, I want function over form. This is to say, I want my gauge/information as close to site line as possible. I'm not a big fan of using an a-pillar pod either. But I can't think of another install that would look smooth, i.e. I don't just want the gauge screwed into my dash above the stock gauges, that would be also be as easily readible.

So far, (I think it was derspi) the best recommendation I have heard has been the HVAC outlet idea. But as I addressed, longevity of the gauge may be affected unless the duct was ENTIRELY sealed behind the gauge. And doing that good of a job sealing the vent would probably make opening and cleaning it, should you want ot remove it, would be nearly impossible. And regarding loss of function, you still have one operational vent on the driver side right below or above (probably below as it would be a better idea to mount in the upper outlet). Losing one of those vents, in my opinion, is better then losing the ashtray, and or storage area underneath the ash tray, but that's just my opinion.
