Default Gauge Pillar for 2IS?

I searched and only found 1 thread from 07, I was wondering if there was any gauge pillars for the 2IS yet. If where would you think a good spot for a gauge would be?

I want to know because I was planning on adding gauges to monitor my volts, rpm and a fake turbo PSI gauge.


Okay just kidding, I need somewhere to put my PSI gauge for my bags.

I was thinking about putting it where the cupholder was but I want it somewhere I can see easily. I believe the gauge is 2 inches in diameter, I have yet to measure it.

Thanks.

WHY!?!!!!!! At least put a fuel/air ratio gauge instead of the fake psi gauge if you insist on getting it at all. Why on earth would you need/want another (smaller) tach?!

Instead of getting a pillar gauge pod, have something custom made. Something clean and oem looking. Having a pillar gauge pod is probably a bad idea, due to the airbags!

Mount it in your glove dude. It should be flush and clean in there.

I want something that would be in my face when I adjust my PSI.

Do you think it would be a good idea? I wouldn't need to know my PSI?

If you mount them on the A pillar and the air bags go off it'll definitely be in your face.....literally

A-pillar + Side air bags + gauge pod = epic fail when the airbags jam the gauges in your face.
