Default Where to put boost gauge?

This may be moved but since this area is where all the performance people hang I had to post here. I have the Escalade gauges so puuting my boost gauge in the cluster will not work, it has the trans gauge. I really dont care for the A-pillar pods and the overhead console seems like it may be allot of work to run wires , lines etc.
Any suggestions, if you have pics please post them. My set-up now is totally ghetto fabulous, safety tied below the dash!! I must get it mounted properly.
Thanks all.

Looks good, I should have told you guys that I do not have the center console, I have the flip down console and center seat option. Wish I did have the center console though I would do mine like yours.

Rice

Offset to your left (its right to me ) is for switches. I didn't have any to put there yet, so I ordered it blank. The back has already been milled for the switches though.
