Autometer Boost Gauge (Installed) pics
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/audiworldpics/2000/Steer.boost.jpg"></center><p>Here are a few frames of my Autometer 2 1/16 black faced turbo boost + vaccuum guage. Total cost, with pod to hold gauge and and gauge itself $90.00
Installed myself in 30 minutes.
Gauge is mounted on steering hub/stalk, so it is alwasy in line with your eyes, no matter where you poistion the seat and steering wheel. Gauge doesn't block any other gauges, is illumitated, and is rather stealthy, as none of your passengers know it's there.
Gauge registers an average of 9-11 psi with the APR stock ECMS mode, and 14.5-17.5 psi in the APR stage 1 mode. Have seen peaks of 13 psi in stock and 21 psi in stage 1, but only for less than two sedconds.
Write me it you need help (by Wedensday 9/6).

Nicely done, never seen a gauge there, good idea. Is it a mechanical gauge?
ie. did you have to route vacuum tubing through the firewall?
