That's what I'm wondering....
But, after the novelty of having a gauge wears off, how often would I really need to look at it, other than when making adjustments with sps3 etc.? I don't think I want to give up a vent, or go with the A-pillar mount.

Look on your sticker on your door, if you were manufactured before 7-2001, you have one more option
It's expensive as gauge mods go, but you can get the center display in your dash to read a multitude of things. Look up the gauge mods page on BlackFnTTruck's links page it's in there. It's schweet. I missed it by a month, or I would be saving up for it! It's around $500 for the equpiment.

No good down low...>>
Consider a dash pod if you don't like A-pillar or Vent options. YOu could mount a Gauge pod n a V4 Gadgett as an option:

You know, I was thinking of the V4 as an option....
...just need to find a way to conceal the wires, etc. I was also trying to think of a way to do a surface mount gauge on the dash, next to the cluster, with some kind of housing that looks like it is blended into the dash, like the vent ducts. I need to do some 3D drawings of that.

Agree with all below>>>
boost needs to be higher, and closer to your line of site....
My Mantis has a oil temp and A/F gauge in it....
here is a nite shot with the boost gauge in the left middle vent, flows lots of air still! ;-)
