New gauge, where should I mount it?

[LaserSVT]

Got my ne DM-100 PLX gauge and boost sensor in today so I downloaded some screens for it and got it set up for install.


This is the boot screen:

And this may be the boost screen I use but I may just go with the digital readout.

So now I have to figure out where to mount it. Opinions please.



Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

a pillar gauge pod

#4 but get it as far to the left as possible.

It would be cool if you could flush mount it somewhere.

4 is the only position you could screw the gauge down. That panel is removable, I wouldnt stick it anywhere that it could damage your dash.

 

[LaserSVT]

Its double sides foam tape

#3 neatly hides the bracket

Does the gauge have a gyro for an upside down mount? If so, #3

 

[Green Machine]

i would stick it to the top of the dash, as far port as it would go, like view 4 but use the industrial strength velcro, so it would be moveable if you sold it.

#1 and #4 seem like they'd be the easiest places to mount and to hide the wire.

No. It uses the more high tech approach of being able to rotate in the mount.

gauge pod on the pillar. i never thought i would like one till i put one in my 97.

Negative on the A-pillar guys. That was the big reason for getting a gauge thats thin and can reaud 32 different sensors. I didnt want to clutter up the car with gauges and wanted to keep it low key.

 

[GMAN]

Don't mount that thing at all.

 

[LaserSVT]

?

 

[BAD97LSC]

yeah hows that for low key duchey?

 

[Sapperfire]

It's just boost, doesn't need to be monitored -slap-

 

[NoLimit95]

No comment but I voted.

i think it would look cool if you could mount it from the ceiling right next to the rear view mirror.

Damn good idea and that way, you could also look in the mirror to see the car you're running off and leaving.

mount the f*cker smack dab in the middle of the steering wheel, f*ck the airbag!

#3 or a pillar pod imho...

 

[MediumD]

Its double sides foam tape

I tried mounting my touchscreen to my dash with 3 different brands of double sided foam tape, tried cleaning the dash with a few different things, nothing I could do would get that bastard to stick to the material.

Anyway, mounting all depends on how you sit in the seat and how tall you are... just mount it where you can see it the best. Oh, but I'd avoid #3, seems like it'll just fall off.

Personally I'd use a shroud like this painted to match the dash.

 

[DieselDan]

I wouldnt stick anythign to the dash, over time it'll screw the dash up, but thats just my 2 cents, thats why I'm sticking with 4.

I just hope for your sake it reads accurate boost.
