Default Digital Boost Gauge?
I've only seen one readout that was digital.
<a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com/oct_s4_boostgauge1.htm" target="_blank"> Stratmosphere Boost Gauge</a>

When I had my Volvo S60 T5 there was a digital
interface to get the boost on the side display.

Has anyone seen something like this for the S4???

Default That's kickass, why don't more people talk about this...
It's very nice to have a digital reading rather than having to read a meter, don't you think?

Default not necessarily...
Digital gauge, while cool, cannot as accurately display boost spikes or throttle cut issues. I'll stick with my non digital gauge...In addition...two problems with the strat. A) you don't know when you're about to come out of vacuum (one of the biggest reasons to have a boost gauge) and B) its from Strat...

Default Will the EFU work if you have an aftermarket stereo installed.
Right now that part is blank because of the stereo. I was wondering how the EFU wires up to the aftermarket wiring, if it even has too.

Default Are you kidding? $$. Not many want to spend $400 for a boost gauge
It may not look as clean, but you can get a very stock look with a $32 VDO gauge that's just as accurate from Summitracing.com

The digital gauge looks better, but I agree with those above, an analog gauge is better overall.
