Best spot for boost gauge pod?

[Local]

I'm interested in putting a mechanical boost gauge somewhere in my dash.

Does anyone have a mount they particularly like?


I'm looking at this one from Aero Force - it fits a 52mm Gauge pod - but I'm not sure how easy it would be to run a connector to that new 034 spacer.

I would like to do a mechanical pod, with an old school sweeping PSI needle. I don't like the digital read out ones. Its just super fun to see that needle sweep past zero into the zone and watch it drop when you come off.

Ohh i like that one... simple, and I agree I had a nice Autometer gauge on my supercharged e46 back in the day and loved that look!

That price is pretty steep for what it is. On the 8v platforms the files to print your own are floating around all over, or you can purchase one for ~$20-$40.

I am planning on running a mechanical boost gauge on my S3, and am liking this TurboSmart option.

Why not a P3 vent gauge?

Edit: NM, missed the mechanical part.

Aero Force came in today. Still waiting on my 034 piece and the gauge it self.

Aero force looks very high quality

Very excited to see what they look like with my Defi gauge installed.

You ordered that gauge pod for b9 from aeroforce? I ordered one for b9 sq5 and it does not fit in the vent correctly.

I figured that out myself a few weekends ago.

Very unhappy that the b9 and b9.5 vents are different and the website / company doesn't seem to know this.

Still looking for a better option.
