Boost gauges

[Sweep]

Where have you put yours? I don't want one stuck on the dash as it kills the sleeper look in my opinion!
I nearly bought an Octavia VRS before the Volvo, and found a company that modified one of the air vents so you could mount one in it. Is there anywhere that do these for Volvo's?
Not a fan of A pillar pods either!

Show me what you've got :)

Block off one of your vents and make a pod out glass fibre that way you can put it were u like and at an angle to suit you

That old gauge looks badass!

I've got a little 52mm Stack one that was too cheap to pass up a while back, knew it'd come in handy :P

That's what i've got. Had it since I bought the car. I like the location, but I think i'm going to change it to a digital guage for easier reading.

Admittedly mine's in a C70, and not an 850, but this is where I've fitted it:

That's where I'm thinking, do we know how the vent comes out?

Just had a look in mine and there's already a little hole in the pillar and in the speaker surround, may of already had a gauge there?! Unless it was a phone system? It's not too obvious at the bottom of the A pillar actually, that's tempting.

It's quite a bit easier to glance at than the vent mounted one's, as it's not as low either.

Where did you take a 12v feed from? And where can the vacuum hose be connected to?

Thanks for the input folks.

Had a look earlier and it appears the air vent flap inside needs removing to fit the gauge, do any of you know how this is removed?

Also, where did you run your vacuum hose to get it into the bay?

Ben.
