Ok so I'm having trouble with where I should mount my gauges for my 91 talon tsi! I do not want an a pillar mount! I have an aem Tru boost, aem wideband, autometer cobalt oil pressure, and autometer trans temp gauge! Slowboy racing used to sell triple pods for the dash vent replacement which is what I wanted because it's simple and clean but they don't make them anymore! Any ideas? I'm looking for it to be simple and clean!
 
Theres dash bezzels for sale. I rock one. But alot of people make those vent mounts. Its pretty easy to do.
 
This VI center vent gauge bezel from ExtremePSI is high quality and includes mounting brackets. No tape or glue required like the ones that Slowboy and most other places sold.

Also you can replace the factory gauges, and since you have 4 gauges on your with list you will need more then just a 2 or 3 gauge center vent or radio bezel. here is a some threads for that:

They also make single gauge bezels that replace the factory ash tray location. This is good for a gauge that you aren't going to be looking at all the time. I have one and that is where I keep my Auto Meter volts gauge.

Another option is to get a cheap single gauge ring and mount it on top of the steering wheel hub (blocking the factory oil pressure gauge). I have my AEM Wideband mounted here and it is VERY easy to see and doesn't look that bad.

Here is a picture of my current setup just to help give you ideas. AEM wideband on the steering wheel, Auto Meter Ultra Light boost and oil pressure in the center vent and voltmeter in the ashtray location.

Hope this helps!
