    Outside mounted to the cowl.
    Now you don't have to worry about it messing with the feng shui of your interior.

      What about something like this?



      I have a friend with an A4 that has a boost gauge mounted here and was surprised at how well it actually fit. Didn't block the other gauges at all and was right there easy to see.

        You could go fancy and replace one of the air vents with a gauge. I believe they are made by Podi, and Guten used to have them.

          I have a 52mm AFR mounted where the OBC was, works well in that location.

            M3 cluster, or aftermarket setup. Or vent gauge panel/Podi gauge.

            It is easy to make something for the vent spot, I made this out of some scrap carbon I laid up:
