Ive seen people just get the universal ones that hold the little autometer ones, its like a metal holster that bolts to whatever you stick it on, then whatever electrical or hoses through guage cluster.

best pictures that i have of where mine is located. as for a verbal; it is located in jsut the right spot so that hwere i sit i can see that my oil pressure gauge still doesnt work, it only covers up my stock boost gauge, and that it is right inside of my 320mm steering wheel.

I think I remember looking at the steering column and realizing a gauge would fit right mounted on the column itself in the middle and not really block anything.

Much better location then off to the side like that

i know they make one for FDs but i have never seen one for FCs. the reason i mounted mine in the location that it is in because the stock boost gauge reads incorrectly (FCD) and my oil pressure is broken, on top of that i have an apex turbo timer that is mounted on the middle bottom of my gauge cluster.

you can just mount it right to the plastic, or get any gauge holder.



Just make sure you dont run screws right into the column, take the plastic off and thru-bolt it.



I have this one from Blitz for my boost gauge, of course its not mounted and sitting in a box like everything else for the car
