Default Mounted AutoMeter Boost Gauge on Z06 steering Column

Here's an alternative to mounting a boost gauge in the A-pillar, cup holder, or air vent, or glove compartment :

Looks good and neat. Should also be easy to read while driving.

Yes, but only 1/3 of the left side. I could have mounted it further left and had the entire DIC in view but opted for centering it on the rpm gauge.

Also, I cannot telescope my steering wheel all the way in now.

For 2008 C6 Z06 owners looking for a power source 12-volt spot to connect the 3376 boost gauge that will provide continuous power while cranking-starting you can get it from the heated seat/wiper fuse in the fuse box located under the passenger side foot well. I'm assuming but not sure it's the same for regular C6s or other model year Z06s. In order to calibrate the 3376 the way the install instructions indicate you'll need to press the start button without pushing the clutch in - this will turn the ignition on and allow the 3376 to calibrate, then push the clutch in and press the start button again to start the engine.
