Oil - the short answer is I can't see it! But I don't need to. With 320 or so bhp it pretty obvious when you are "on boost"!
I've only kept it so that it can be used for engine management or boost set-up work, and in these cases the boost gauge would be monitored by the chap in the passenger seat with the lap top on his, er, lap.
The reality is that for 99% of the time the information provided by the additional boost gauge is of no interest or relevance to me, so inside the glove box seemed the most appropriate place.

Ah. Interesting, thanks. I have often wondered that the point of a boost gauge is; whenever I have driven a turbocharged car it has always been an irrelevance to me, but I wondered whether seasoned drivers of such things actually find a day-to-day use for them. However you have confirmed my suspicions - thanks!

I look at mine (but its on the a pillar so quick glance is easier) when the boost controller went wrong I was interested to see it reading 30+psi (wheelspin in 3rd on a damp road) and also I had a boost leak that lead to maximum boost slowly trailing from 18psi to 15. I also kept my narrow band AFR there which saved me on a trackday when the vacuum line came of the FPR.
I do find them to dangerous to read in the cubby location though
