Well with the turbo kit on the way here and just getting my tax return i went out and bought a GReddy Profec B-spec II as well as a blitz Turbo timer, just o have it ready when i do the full install sooner or later depending on when i get it. I had all the stuff and was looking for a place to mount the GReddy at first i was considering mounting it in the little black holder under the dim switch but i wanted to see it without taking my eyes off the road completely so that was out of the question than i thought about right on the steering column but with the vac tub that would be ugly so i looked at my head (Stock 6CD changer one that came with the car) unit and the idea hit me the spot where the tape player would go has a plastic cover/filler and plenty of room behind it so i took it out measured it up and cut out a square just barley big enough to put the GREDDY in without it being able to move and it is pretty damn nice BUT the only thing is that i need to paint it black due to the fact that they shop only had the silver on in stock and thats the one i bought. as for the Blitz TT i saw some one had position there's on the center consul between the shifter and cup holders which looked good so i sorry to say copied that idea. I'll try to take pics put i really don't know how to other than putting them on my-space then copying the link to post here.

I like the din plate that Steve from NSN made, you can put that and a gauge in there :)

wow that looks really nice...

I would suggest some fiberglass..You could easily put it on top of the steering column at a slight angle or you could even mold it onto the A-pillar like I believe Piranha did IIRC. The din option is also a very very nice option, especially with the gauge.

it looks good but i don't think it would look right in mines plus i want to keep my in dash changer and try to keep the inside simple for the most part. besides as of right now most of my money will be going to performance parts and spension everything else will take back seat to those two things.

true but i like to see what the pressure is and have it inside my eyes view plus its Very easy to see and adjust if needed (though once set will nevver really be touched again and it doesn't take up any room i useally keep a razor in that spot just in case i got to cut sumthin

...just in case i got to cut sumthin

somethin' or SOMEONE???!!?? (shady)


on a side note, i say just put it where you like it , what id do is just put it in different spots and see where i like it. while some place might nice for one , may be unappealing to another.

I guess those are the 03.5 oems then. The 03's are not like that:

I was unaware of that change and now I kinda want some of the 03.5s for durability.

I glassed mine into the A-pillar.... I like it as it's fully functional and definitely right where I need the boost controller. And i've never seen them put there before so its unique
