Default Simple Boost Gauge On Steering Column?

I want to get a simple boost gauge set up, not looking to spend hundreds.

Is there a pod or way to secure one on the steering column or is a single pillar pod the best way to go.

Looking for cheapest but accurate option in regards to a gauge. Preferably mounted on the steering column.

Cars a bugeye wrx

What are my options?

You can get single pods that stick to the steering column with double sided tape, or screws. They come free with Defis.

I used to have one or two knocking about, what size?

Guess no best way,just preference and i considered the column mount. Thought may get in way of dash or take eyes off road a little........plus i would keep looking at the fuel gauge. Ended up deciding on single pod,on eye level so easy user to read.

Yes ,tbh drives very well,all stamps from subaru and 1 owner. Mileage does not over concern me as long as i know its right. Rather have higher than 70k and missing stamps for example........thats just me though
Starts on the button,no knocks etc,boost is around 1 bar,not in league of STi etc but hey,just a work chariot for me Its quick compared to my last v6 shogun

once the car is remapped and a few upgrades though you'll be easily past 0.15 lambs but you could also look at the omori 45mm gauge as well:

not a bad fit and the red will match in with DEFI's or STI gauges, or switch to a green bulb for the stock look.
