It's a generic APC pod that I cut up. Details here:

I have the boost gauge by the radio currently, but thats getting moved to the top of the steering column.

My gauges are the VDO Pro-Vision series, Oil Pres., Coolant Temp., and Oil Temp.

anyone have the gauges in "not-normal" places

such as the boost gauge/wideband inside the drivers side ac vent on the door (really sneaky )

or anywhere else that isnt mainstream ... also does anyone make a double/triple gauge pod for the fc

Not at all. It's placed so that I can see all of the tach, except around 8000rpm or so.

I always wanted to get the Defi VSD Concept.
But the price is not around what I wanted to spend, espicially if you want to display other info instead of Speed and the Tach.

I wonder, is there a R34 style kit out there, so you can put a pod like that into the "idiot light" spot, and do what you said above?

It'll be like that, except in an FC where the idiot lights are, and a different style readout.

No holes were drilled in the mounting of these items. Except for the switch box.
