ECU chip with boost guage functionality, has this been asked about/done?
I know the APR chip allows the driver to toggle the fuel program by using the cruise control stick. Do any of these chips add a boost guage menu to driver information display (the one that shows instant fuel mileage/average fuel mileage/average speed, etc.)
If the display is being driven by the main ECU, then it would make sense. If it's controlled by a separate processor, then it might not be as easy. Anyways, this seems like the ideal place to put a real time digital boost display. Also a display for peak boost.

I find my EFU to be quite useful as a boost gauge.
The combination of EFU, VAG-Com, and/or ECUx is more than enough IMHO. Actually when I got EFU, I was pleasantly suprised by how quick the refresh rate was.
