extra gauges?

If I wanted to add a couple of extra gauges (52mm or smaller), does anyone know if there is room under the panel in front of the semi useless cupholers, next to cigarette lighter?? Thx
Regards,
Jerry

jerry,

i am also interested in adding some extra info into the car but considering that my DFC suspension controller is going to be sitting right there...no space. What guages are you planning on adding?

I would love to have an AFR and an EGT guage...now where to mount them?

If I did A/F and/or EGT ( I think EGT is probably the better of the two), I would prob mount in the glove box with long leads to pull them on the passenger seat. I think you only need that for tuning. Since our cars are not forced induction, I don't think you will see major changes for street driving purposes once properly set up. I would like to have vacuum gauge and prob oil pressure. The latter will save your motor if something bad happens (BTDT). When you get the DFC see how big the actual controller is. When I had help doing an MSD ignition with boost ****** switch on my Turbo audi, we removed the switch from the case and mounted it where we wanted. As long as the wires hook up, the switch doesn't care where it is.
Regards,
Jerry
