I'm planning on installing my boost gauge in my 90 S13. I still can't decide where I should mount it though. Should I mount it behind the steering wheel like jdm? or should I put it in a gauge pod strip on the A pillar? Or should I put in the middle of the dashboard above the vents? Or should I try to cram it underneath the stereo? Anybody have any pics of their gauge install? Thanks in advance. I'd prefer S13 pics but mount whichever. I'm only going to be running the boost gauge and maybe one or two other gauges but I'm pretty sure I'd rather have the boost gauge separate. Bah I don't know what I'd like that's why I'd like to see some pics lol.

It's your car, put it where you want it. No one else's opinions should matter.

Does anyone have a pic from the driver seat looking directly at the steering wheel with the boost gauge directly behind it inbetween the rpm gauge and speedo like the jdm style? I'm leaning towards putting mine there but I want to see how it looks first from the driver's pov. Thanks in advance.

ok before i begin, what engine are you running?

and how is putting a boost gauge behind the steering wheel "like jdm"?
is it only japanese cars that are allowed to place their gauge in that position?
am i breaking some international law because i had mine there?

No you are not breaking a law. It was just that japanese racers put it there before us americans caught on and it's a lot more common in japanese 'ricer' setups lol. I've never seen an s13 with one but when I was in japan even some of the boosted (supercharged) american cars had it behind the steering wheel. I just want to see what it looks like in the s13 before I install it. Do you have yours in between the speedo and rpm gauge or do you have it to one side? May I see a pic of your boost gauge setup?

And I'm running a 90 240sx with a KA24ET. Which will later on be a KA24DET when I rebuild and install my sr in my 91 and take the ka24de out and install it in my 90.
