What gauge mount to use?

[kamilbaran]

Hello, I am currently in the process of installing an interchiller kit into my f80, along with some more goodies. I currently have a turner vent gauge to my right for my boost pressure, and am installing the p3 vent gauge to my left. I have a custom made interchiller gauge that will read the active interchiller temp. I want to get mounted in a good area that wouldn’t require too much hassle to have it mounted or set up. Anyone use a mount that they can recommend or a location especially they like to use? I’ve seen the typical a pillar mounts but I also saw one which goes in the dead space of the screen and dash. Just want to see what everyone else is using before I pull the trigger on what I see best or what my shop recommends. Thank you!!!

Sounds like you have little faith in your tuner. LOL. Honestly though, you've used up all real estate there. Not sure anything exists for your needs.

Can you display the data to iOS or android and use your phone?

I just want to get it before hand. I am going to ask them if I don’t see one I like though when I go to drop off the gauge and fuel injectors fridays

Personally not a fan of gauges on a phone screen. I’m sure you can though.

Why not do the other vent?

I would have to use the further right one, and i don’t really want to have to turn my head so much to the side to see it, but it is an option I was leaning towards due to the cleaner look. All a personal and comfort preference.

The reason I asked is because vent pods stay cool, where dash-top and pillar pods can overheat from the sun.

I generally did not take that aspect into consideration, thanks for throwing that out there. An a pillar mount wouldn’t be the worst in terms of sun exposure but would be more of an eyesore to look at. I could put the boost gauge as the further away vent and have the interchiller gauge the closer one for better monitoring.
