Where did you mount your boost gauge? I looked around and couldn't find anything for the A-Pillar other than the cheap plastic ones that you have to literally screw into the existing pillar.

That was my issue as well. I originally has a Snow Performance kit with the gauge pod, and couldn't come up with any GOOD solution to mount the gauge. Temporarily I had used 3M tape to a gauge pod to the lower left windshield and some mesh wire loom to hide the wiring as much as possible. I ended up switching over to an AEM controller with no boost gauge and hid it behind the panel on the end of the dash on the left side (Driver side in US), then drilled a small hole in the trim below the cluster for the LED to go. The LED brightness depends corresponds with boost/pump duty cycle, so I have some semblance of an idea of what's going on. If I need exact data I just plug in an OBD tool or use my VAP datalogger.

I considered putting one (gauge) in mine and even bought a pod. Most gauges are 2 1/8". I tried multiple locations as a test (non permanent) and there is literally no room IMO to make it look right...and by right, I mean factory, or tasteful AM.

I considered the pod on the Overhead console, but it barely blocks the mirror. Considered center dash, where the speaker is, but did not look good there either. A pillar was about the only place I could find...But as you mention, I could not find any nice looking/quality ones.

I resolved that I just did not need one. I have the VAP Datalogger tool/software, and I can just log and later will know how much boost I have in most scenarios..
