If you're ordering your headunit from crutchfield they will send you one for free, the product is made by metra. Heres a picture of one.

usually you don't even need the metra kit... My Panasonic and Alpine units (and ever other unit I've ever used) has come with a metal shroud where you can push in various tabs and it'll hold nice and solid.
you need a pocket for down below temporarily -- but it's ugly, so plan for a screen or something

yeah, that would probably be a boost gague and a volt meter. You'll see them on the turbo models and I believe they may have had a group buy on them a while back. They most likely were custom fab because I haven't seen anything like that recently.

Autometer sells the gauge holders, just cut them to fit.

Didn't know who existed, VDO? I hope you did, considering they made all the gauges in volvos from when they started through the S/V70's atleast....

What they're saying is when you remove the stock volvo deck and put in an aftermarket one, the space below will be a single DIN, and you can put their triple gauge holder in there.
