    OK.

    I am getting only one gauge total (defi D-series boost gauge) and I need ya'll to give me some suggestions on the best mounting option for the one gauge. Basically I don't want empty cups sitting around in the car.

    Thanks alot!

    well...personally I have my boost gauge zip-tied to my driver's side defrost vent. Then again...I am going for the "most ghetto" prize from wrxatl, so I guess im not a good example.

    Wow. And I though using double sided tape just above the cluster was cheap.

    That's an awesome solution, man. :rofl:

    Is that going to be your only gauge?

    If you're going with two gauges, the autometer gauge cluster bezel pod looks very clean installed. I'm not a fan of A-pillar pods but that is an option.

    There are the various steering column pods, including the OEM that can be hacked to fit larger gauges I believe.

    For single pods, there is the small one that sits right at the base of the A-pillar and looks like a little bubble. There's also some company that makes one that holds a gauge in the AC vent to the left of the steering wheel.

    if u plan to get more gauges later on, u could get a 3 gauge pod and temporarily seal off the other 2 cups... u can buy plexi-glass, cut it to fit inside the cup and spray paint the reverse side black... then u can hold it in place with double sided tape... the finished look is pretty clean and u dont have to buy a new pod when u get more gauges
