Show me your gauges!

I'm on the fence about where I want to mount my Defi gauges.

Post up pictures of your gauges ( any type )!

No offense, but every Autometer guage I've had has read crappy. Defi defiantely reads more accurate...spend the little extra money.

Those look good but I would not put important guages down there. As this requires you to look away from the road to see them. This would be a great location for voltage or something. You should put guages close to your field of vision while driving. That is why stearing pods and pillar pods are so popular. I hope this helps sorry I do not have a pic of mine as I am at work now.

I have my "important gauge" with is my AEM wideband o2 gauge mounted on my steering wheel. The boost and oil temps aren't that important to me...I have a great TurboTrix tune and a Greddy Profec B EBC...my boost doesn't change. I also didn't want a pillar full of guages, it's all personal opinion.

+1

Wideband + Boost on duel steering colum gauge pod, EGT(F), Oil Pressure(M), Oil Temp(B) on A pillar triple gauge pod w/ tweeter cutout.

The ones you need most would be right in front of your face, so you don't get in an accident trying to take a peak. Not only that, but it will grab your attention if a needle goes somewhere it isn't usually, unlike other locations where you have to be specifically looking to see if something is different.
