Default Best Boost Gauge and placement?

My STS kit will be installed soon. One thing I didn't think about until now is what Boost Gauge to get, and what the best placement is in a Yukon Denali. Gauge Pod? Any other suggestions?

i like the guage pod and auto meter guages...the pod puts them up and out of the way and you can see it very clearly...

I went with the autometer full pod, dual guages. Also if you are interested I found some guages that damn near match the denali factor cluster. I had been looking and finally found some. I can get you some pics if you want just send me a pm.

Placement of the gauge is very important but just having one hooked up is ALLOT more important. I am finding out the hard way. Get the thing hooked up before you do the STS install to be safe man!!! On another note let me know where you end up mounting your boost gauge because mine is still ghetto fabulous and rigged below the dash.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone have any links or pics they could post? My Denali has the tan interior, so I'm assuming if I got the Pillar Pod I would need to buy one that was color matched to the interior. Thanks for the help!

You'll have to paint the pod to your color.
