I have a guage pod from 5one5 Innovations, maybe not the best, but it works well enough. It allows me to run three gauges where the clock and idiot cluster were. I relocated the idiot lights into the instrument cluster. The setup works pretty well; everything is within line of sight.

I am in the process of making a gauge pod for my air/fuel gauge right on the steering colum so its sits kind of in the lower middle of the RPM gauge. Its a good place if you onle have the one gauge, if you have more then one i recommend putting them where your idiot lights are

im satisfied... out of the way and easy to see when your boosting and need to watch A/F ratios... mine are boost and A/F connected to a wideband...

It was part of a group buy, and this was one of the first products they produced. Check the Group Buy section of the site. I've forgotten how much I paid though.

TonyTurboII made a nice custom one with big 60mm greddy guages. By the idiot cluster it is.
