Here is my two gauge only setup. I bolted them into the top steering rack column cover. Everything is visible 100% and not out of the way.

What's the side view like? Wires visible? I see the small "L" bracket to the cover, but what went around the AEM gauge to attach?

It's a standard gauge pod:

Wires are hardly visible. They shoot straight down into the cover of the steering rack. The gauges are 100% electronic so no need for any tubes or steel cables.

That looks awesome, DirectQL! I think I'm going to do mine that way (I have an AEM UEGO and haven't picked out a boost gauge yet).

I wanted to avoid messing with any hard/expansive to replace panels. Steering rack cover is pretty cheap to replace.
