egt, boost, trans temp guages

What is everyone's option on what order to put the gauges in a three gauge pillar configuration?

You're talking about an A-pillar mount? You should probably put the one that changes quickest or varies the most in the mount that's closest to your eye (upper spot). Put either the EGT or boost gauge in that spot, the leftover one of those two in the middle, and the tranny temp one on the bottom.

I put boost on top because it ain't important to watch, You can control it by your egt's. I put the pyro on the bottom but I think it wouldn't be bad in the center either since you have to look down a little to see.

I have my boost at the top, pyro in the middle, and trans temp at the bottom. The middle one was the easiest one for me to see - so that's why I put the Pyrometer there.

I have my Quad A pillar pod set up like this - EGT on top, then boost, then trans, and then water. I put the EGT on top because that's the one i watch the most.

I've got a quad mount, from top to bottom: Fuel Pressure, Pyro, Boost, Trans. However, I need to switch the boost and pyro. Although the pyro is closer to me, the boost is easier to read since you're eyes don't have to change their focus point as far. They need to be switched because the pyro is the important one. Then, they'd be placed like stroking has his. Trans temp should stay on the bottom, as it can be partially blocked by the pod above. Pictures in my gallery if you want a peek.

Well since mine is a under dash mount my input doesn't really count, but I put the EGT first, Boost second and trans last.

Get a 3 gauge top dash mount. I had a a piller mount but after seeing a dash mount I swaped over to it. Like it much better, puts all the gauges right in front of you, and it doesn't get in your way. But anyway with that I put my 6 Gun on the left, pyro in the middle and boost on the end.
