Gauge placement

[Proto]

Gonna be ordering a vac/boost gauge for the upcoming VMP TVS in a couple of weeks. I'm avoiding going with the SOS pillar pod. I already have a wideband with a vent pod:

I was thinking of putting the boost gauge in the vent on the other side of the wideband. The gauge is easily visible to the driver there. Curious to see pics of anyone thats done this before. I would love to use the SOS pillar pod because it puts them an eye twitch away from the road but i just think they're tacky.

I've ruled out the drivers side vent because i'd like to keep the gauges together

Opinions welcome

I've never liked the gauges in vents, looks odd and you have to look away from the road. The SOS are nice pieces for sure.

Living in Texas, blocking any possible source of cool air is a bad idea.

Zpod or pillar mount for me.

Bit the bullet and bought the SOS pillar pod. I hope i like it.

Looked around forever for an LED backlit 20psi vac/boost gauge and couldn't find anything i liked. Found roush's LED boost gague. I absolutely love it. Hate that it says roush though. I called them and they refused to tell me who makes it!! I couldn't believe it. Ended up buying it anyways:
