gauges! About to add to my 850
I will be likely adding AFR and manifold pressure gauges to the 855T in near future.
Recommendations on gauge brands/sources and mounting locations please. Rather not put them on A pillar if I can avoid it; really want to keep stock look as much as possible.
Appreciate your input!

Sorry 97black850, but i would still like to use my vents.
Might need to cut holes the dash possibly..
Gauge recommendations?
FYI: ending going w/VTBricked suggestion and think it turned out quite well. There is just enough room! Gauges are 2.063" diameter and 1 din height is about 2.400"; i.e. you have about an 1/8" to spare on top and bottom.
Went with AEM gauges. Will post pic soon.

I am running autometer ultralights in mine - love them. I have 3 on the A-pillar (wideband AFR, boost, and oil pressure) and 3 in the area above my (now single din) radio (egt, coolant temp, and fuel pressure).
What is EGT?
I like the extra info but I do NOT like anything to look at that low. I actually ran off the road not long ago trying to adjust the AC in a Saturn that had the controls down in front of the shifter.
I have seen 3 gauges under or above a single DIN radio. The best place is in the pod or dash somehow. I had a spare dash pad and should have sunk my ScanGauge in the top of it. There has to be a clean way to mould something in the vinyl of the dash pad.

Wait, just added it up, it would be tight but 3 should fit. Would still like to see what you did..
