Default A-Pillar or HUD gauge pod??

I've been running around with my boost gauge 3M'd to my steering column for a while now. I recently had my oil pressure switch crap out on me and thought that would be a good excuse to get a pressure gauge for it instead. Now, the question is: Where should I mount the pair? HUD or Pillar?

Also, does the oil pressure switch just turn on the idiot light, or is it monitored by the PCM, as well?

I would say A-pillar. IMO they look bad a$$ up there, here is a picture of my set-up. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.

NICE SETUP!! Somehow I don't believe my gauges will look that nice, but I think you won me over on placing them on the pillar.

BTW, 3 AeroForce's!!! I AM JEALOUS!

Thanks for the compliments. And your gauges will look just fine up there too.

You can get the Aeroforce Interceptor gauge from PFYC.com. They aren't cheap by any means though.

Because with three of them he will know everything that happens at anytime, anywhere.
