under the headunit is fine but out of site, legally it can sit in the dash surround as long as it does not obstruct the view of the speedo, i was thinking out mounting my a/f one in a shrowd above the far right aircon vent, but that takes fibreglass, and that costs money

In my old 323 I mounted the boost gauge on the left side of the instrument hump using the mounts and one of those cups. I just screwed it straight into the dash.

Don't mount the top of the gauge above the top of the steering wheel, as you *might* get defected for it.
