I hvae aux gauges under teh center console. Just wondering how you MINI-fanatics mounted your boost gauge. Next to the tach? Thanks!

 

I just installed one on my car and I mounted on the left hand side of the RPM Tach. Using the Autometer ultralight series.

Greddy SMI gauges, they have a similar setup availiable here, i am very happy with them unfortunately the unit i got is from japan!

gauges are electronic and goes to a head unit, so i can add extra if i need to, but i dont see that need yet...

boost reading is about 1.1 bar, give or take is about 14 psi... i have a 15% pulley so it does make a difference, but recently with the intercooler im seeing slightly less, now about .75 boost... install i just tapped the vaccum line into the unit, and wire the wires through the firewall by drilling a small hole on the right side partition

 

Well i did mine the ceapest way possible. I did a little trimming on the air conditioner vent beside the spedo so that i could make a slip on fit. The gauge is just sort of wedged in there.
