Hmmm... Where are you putting this Gauge?

One of those nodding dogs would move up and down a fair bit, maybe worth a look?

although im not really one for gauges without a purpose, you could Fit a vaccum gauge. Wont really tell you a lot but will look alright and if i understand correctly will move relative to throttle position. I have my boost gauge fitted where my vent used to be in the centre of the dash. People always comment on how smart that looks and i didnt have to buy a pod of any kind.

is that a 60mm guage in the dash frankie? I have a 60mm apexi boost guage i'm going to fit when turbo goes on, just want to check if it's an easy fit?

I dont know for sure, i'l measure it tommorow but 60mm sounds about right. I bought it because it was a bargain and it just so happened to be a perfect fit. I have got some photos of my car now inc the gauge, i will have to post it up.

It was pretty easy to do. I removed the centre dash bit which takes 5mins then remove the swivel vent thing which again is easy. theres just a springy lug you push in on the side from the back and it pops out then i used silicone to bond the gauge in. the hardest bit was holding it in place whilst silicone set. i used tape in the end.

EDIT* i also used tin foil to bung up th heater pipe so as not to cook the gauge.

i bin told it is possible to fit an air/flow ratio gauge ( optimum, lean or rich ) so ive ordered that along the lines with a volt gauge and thermometer, then gettin a tri pod for the pillar. will post some pics when done......
