You should mount it where your boost gauge is. You can display boost on your serial gauge.

Then again, whatever gauge you bought, you could probably have displayed it on the serial gauge.

A lot of guys replace the audio Mode button. Takes a bit of surgery though.

Its just a simple HKS one I got from MVP motorsports. All it is just a metal ring tighten and attached to a base by a nut and bolt.
There are better looking ones that conceal the wiring and stuff just look around.

I'm not sure how thick the boost and serial gauges are, but my AEM AFR gauge mounts right to the dash on the temp side. I think the AFR gauge is on the thin side, though.

The 2 bolts rest literally right on the bottom of the gauge cluster horizontally, and the back of the gauge is flush against the flat area just above the cruise control button.

Just enough room for the signals and to get my fingers on the +/- buttons if needed. It really doesn't look as ghetto as you'd think, either.

On another note, does a 2 guage pod cut into your view a lot? I have a single, and it's fine, but I'd think a 2 gauge cluster would really enter my field of view. Also, a little too F&F, but when FI you really do need gauges (at least boost and AFR supercharged, and oil pressure with a turbo).
