I have the Zeitronix gauge in mine. It is above the far left vent. It was in my sunglass holder but I need to see it more with the TT than the SC I had before.

Pillar looks the best, imo.

If your going TT, then its probably not the brightest idea, especially in SoCal.

But since, hopefully, I will be going Vortech in the future which is carb "legal", pillar will suit me best since I love the looks of it.

Do you have Pix? I'm dropping mine today for the STS install but really want to avoid the pillar pod. I also don't want to spend big $$$ on custom install.

Pictures suck...but it's the only thing I have. The boost guage is a piece of crap...I'll most likely do a A-pillar gauge pod with Autometer Nexu gauges.

reason why i put it on the pillar is for ease of access.. its so easy to see the gauges.. plus the install is not really permanent either so you don't have to worry about destroying your interior.. there really isn't anywhere else you can do it without modifying your interior.

That's a good point Mike. I'm probably just gonna go with the A pillar pod also. I don't wanna do anything permanent either. Can you post a pic of your gauges Mike? I don't remember looking in your car at Stillen to see your gauges.
