Looking to add a third gauge

So I have a Rexpeed dual A pillar gauge pod with AFR and boost gauges, and I'm trying to find a place to mount a oil pressure gauge. I don't want to mount it to the steering column so I was wondering if any of you guys have any recommendations? Or is there some kind of rectangular gauge that I can mount under the AC controls possibly?

I've heard mixed things on this forum about Oritz pods so I'd do some research before pulling that trigger. More gauges isn't always a good thing. Maybe sell the AEM gauges and go with a couple of the new Innovate MTX duals? This would give you 4 readings from two gauges (2 at a time, that is):

Thats not a bad idea actually. I wasn't looking to add a new gauge as my current setup is nice and simple, but a buddy of mine had a low oil pressure condition under boost that he didn't know about until it was too late. I'm not sure if our cars have some kind of safety net for something like that, but it sure scared me into buying one.

Maybe get a AEM fail safe gauge, which I think is an AFR and boost gauge in 1. I use to have 3 gauges in my last car. Tell you the truth there was a lot going on in those pillars lol

Personally I'd just get a triple pillar pod. Don't get me wrong I even talked **** about the Ortiz custom pods customer service cause that **** straight blows, but the actual product is pretty good.

Granted you could prolly get that one that does both the AFR and boost as they had mentioned and try to resell your old ones to recoup back some of the cost. I'm just a fan of the triple look personally
