I'm curious where folks with F5X cars mount the boost gauge.

My car has the h/k stereo so the first one won't work. And my car has the digital cluster so I'm not sure if the second one would work, either. Oh well.

The second one will not work, you're correct. Though we're working on a bracket that will work for your cluster! It's still early in development, and we have some hurdles to work through with how MINI designed the cluster, but we are working on it!

Here to bring this one back from the dead a year later. Sorry. But ive found on Ebay a company that makes the air vent gauge pods for the R53. Awesome enough for the older models but the exact same size in ever body style.. 3 inches across. Fits a 2" gauge perfectly. Still a usable vent for airflow as well.
Ido3dprints.com is the company. And $27 shipped to your door.
Regular 3d print material as well as polished material. I went with polished for my 2015 f55. Also the instsll isnt as difficult as you woukd think. The vents just pull right off with a trim tool.

Any update on the bracket for cars with the digital cluster?

@NBCGLX We do have a bracket ready for the new style tach, though it's for one mounting point up and to the right like our Gemini phone mount;

Of course this can be used to mount gauges, though we are still working on a bracket to mount the gauges lower, flanking the screen.
