I mounted mine under the radio in that little pocket. Very stealthy and out of the way until you need it.

Mine is slightly above and slightly to the right of the hood release. It came there, I kinda like it, kinda dont.
Its not really visable unless your looking at it- and it reflects onto the windshield and the driver side window if for somereason i need to see it (volts). I dont like it because it just kinda sits there, wires and all.

Edit: I have to explain why my "cellphone" rings every time I turn my car off if I take someone somewhere who hasnt ridden in my car yet, because they cant see it, and it makes a ringtone-ish noise.

i put mine right on top of the steering column. Fits perfectly flush with the bottom of the gauges and almost looks stock. Just used some 3m double sided tape/padding.

on top of the steering column also. I have it so it always displays my batt. voltage. Just like having another gauge to look at.

left kick panel up high in the foot well on its side. Doubled it up with the Profec B which is exactly the same width.

I got a very small one and put it in the glove box. Its only there for when the wife drives the car anyway. I can't trust her to let it idle for a minute or two.

Not sure on your likes and dislikes (lots of lights and gadgets or not) but if you cant find a place and dont want to clutter up the interior, you can always buy an after market alarm that has the turbo timer built into it. Then you have the best of both worlds.

Weighing in. This is where mine is mounted (HKS). Works well and fits like factory.
