Best place to mount the CMGS gauge?

kennejp · 06-30-2010, 11:55 AM

Hey guys like the title says. Looking for the best and cleanest place to put the cmgs gauge. I have seen the ashtray and on the steering colum. What do you think?

Get an ATI epod, and mount it on the steering wheel column. It's clean, always visible (you can monitor boost and flow while driving), and easy to remove. The best solution IMHO.

Ya that does look good but I have the vent gauge so dont need two pods.

Do they have a cap or something if you only use one or do you just have a hole there?

the pod actually would be removed....leaving just a little mounting point bump on the steering column.

Ya I know, I meant to say on the steering column where you would remove the extra pod would you just have a hole there? Also who sells them the cheapest is there any e90 discount or gb?
