Well it looks like my pyro will be goin on the top, which is the same as the middle for those of you with a third gauge. It looked like that would be easier to glane at, and watch out of the corner of my eye...

Top: Tranny
Mid: Boost
Bottom: EGT

I found it easier to look at the lower/mid pod easier on the eyes while driving than looking up top...therefore tranny (which isn't as critical) went up top.

I agree. I have boost on top, pyro in middle, then FP on bottom.

I like the EGT in the middle.

I also like having the boost closer to me, as it's a little harder to read with precision.


If I did it all over again, I'd put them in the same order.

Soon to come in overhead console:
Air filter restriction, Trans Temp, Rear Diff Temp, maybe a compass or something
Maybe in the little cubby hole in the dash: outside air temp.

Never realized there was so much thought put into this subject.... or so much variation resulting from all the thought.
All gauges are important.... I just stacked mine in order of urgency, as in data needed "now"!

Pyro...Boost...Tranny Temp
I find the top gauge easiest to see... but maybe being 6' 7" has something to do with that?
