Most boost guages are of the same shape and size. So it all depends on your creativity when mounting it. Personally I like 60mm guages cause they are not huge but you can still see them. I made a black lexan bracket to mount mine in the drivers side door vent. Running the hose and wires is a slight task but worth it in the end I think.

i have mine on the steering column, its a 52mm greddy. i like the 60mm too, but its harder to find a spot. the drivers vent is good, steering column, a pillar, top for the dash, under the radio. be creative

when i had a turbo on my N/A (blew it up so got new combo in my sig) i had a auto metter one.. there cheap too.. i dunno why all you guys say they dont read write.. i tested mine with th eair compressor and got the same reading on the gauge as the compressor.. another good gauge is the VDO one.. its read 0-30psi but has no vac.. about same price as autometer.. so about $50.. as to where to mount is. i had it in a auto meter guage cup on the flat part of the dash inbetween the mold for the gauge cluster and the idiot lights.. so you still see the idoit lights and still have good view of the boost guage too.. just my $.02

They look nice. I'm going to try and get a black one to match the original standard gauges. I might try to get a small onew that will just sit
in front of the factory one. I'm also getting an FCD on Saturday.
