When I was looking into gauges I thought about making a plate and drilling holes out for the gauges. Then screw the plate in the center console in the hole under the cigarette lighter.

You can get 2 gauge dash pods also. IIRC someone used one designed for a mustang. Looked nice. My gauge show's both EGT and Boost so I only need 1.

I fabricated two aluminum tabs that prevent the gauge mount from sliding forward and fastened them to the threaded holes in the back that were used to secure the billet in the mill. Here are the gauges I installed in the wife's LBZ.

I am running the Edge Insight and dash pod, it looks almost stock, and can monitor darn near anything you want.
If your ecm watches it then you can.
