An idea I have for boost guage...

Not sure if this will work at all but at least I'll throw it out there and see if anyone can do this.

Wouldn't it be cool if we are able to some how reuse the diplay screen between the tac and speedo to display realtime boost levels? Is there a way...is there an unused signaling receiving line to the on board computer that would allow for an aftermarket electronic-boost sendor to hook up to so that software in the onboard computer can be programed to display a virtual boost buage in the center display. For example, the orange/yellow top area of the display can be used, when the stalk/switch is toggled, to display the realtime boost of the intake. Anyone else with any thoughts on how this may be done?

Hmm, any idea who 'the competition' is? These guys don't have anything for the 8E yet...

Neither does the "competition"...

We're hoping to cover the CAN systems too quite quickly after introduction. After we found out about the german product, we have decided to include an array of features that will blow your socks off.
