Default Discrete locations for AFR gauges and boost gauges

I have a pillar pod housing 2 gauges, but it screams the car has been modified. I'm looking for something a bit less revealing and out of the way, where have you guys put yours?

Pics if possible.

Cheers

Unless you're putting gauges on for show, you want them somewhere where you can see them easily
when you are pushing the car the hardest. I was going to put mine in the radio door but you have
to look down to see them, and that could be bad if you are at WOT.

if you're WOT you shouldn't be looking at anything other than the road in front of you, imo

Gauges do nothing to worn u wot. Logging helps with that. Gauges are nice to see max boost or air temp or water temp or knock. U just can't pay attention to them when wot.

That being said radio door is best for discrete and a pillar is easiest. I went easy lol. Two serial gauges in a pillar. One stays on o2 and the other usually on iat.

Are all gauges mounted on steering column custom mounts? I haven't seen anything available for our cars to mount a gauge to the steering column.
