What Boost Gauge and Where You Mounted It

I would like to gather some pictures of where you mounted your gauges. In particular the Boost Gauge.

Please start by posting a photo of where your Boost Gauge is in your 2nd Generation Rx-7 and what make the Boost Gauge is. I'm sure plenty of people are as curious as I am to see where you guys mount these things. Let's see what you you got!

Funny enough its really no more expensive than a good set of quality gauges...maybe a few bucks more but not a gross amount. Great for Haltech'd cars

How about these boost gauges

HKS CAMP system. Analog mode, I choose two gauges at a time between Boost, Low (water) temp, High (EGT) temp, or air/fuel. Digital mode, I get all four as well as 4 gauges that read off the ignition brain.

A bit less baller than above, but it does the job.

CAMP system (what I have) or CAMP II system, related sensors, junction box, and a video display. My display is an Pioneer AVIC2 that provides Nav, regular AM/FM radio, CD, XM/Sirus, HD Radio, Hard Drive music storage, and IPod controller.

I have access to everything but some of the sensors for a CAMP. Pm me if interested, but not cheap. Sensors show up on EBay, Craigslist, the various car forums, and still available to some extent from HKS themselves.

I really cant see beyond mild driving how someone can watch the boost gauge, im looking at the tach and letting the boost controller do its job, even so I just watch for the shift light sequence as the tach is incorrect at higher RPMs

Its for reference. You shouldnt be watching any gauges while driving at the limit.

You have much to learn from Ayrton Senna
