Default Heads-up Display - Boost Gauge/Turbo Timer users?

Has anyone installed or used this heads-up diplay which is both a turbo timer and boost gauge? I am interested in installing both on the 'ol S4 and was wondering what results had been had with this setup? Still retain factory alarm capabilities? Bi@#$%ch to install? Thanks!<ul><li><a href="http://www.machvw.com/headupdisboo.html">Heads-up Display - Digital Boost Gauge/Turbo Timer</a></li></ul>

I say go for the A-pillar gauge unless you are looking for a cheesy corvette like gauge..

Default The picture they have on the website doesn't look like it at all...

I've seen it in person, and it's not that nice green color. There's no red, either. It's a light aqua green kinda like those old Spelling-toys in the movie E.T. It does look kinda cool because it's a HUD...not too sure about it's accuracy, and it doesn't have a "negative" value--which (I think) means it doesn't reflect vacuum from the turbos.

I would get it...it's different, and people who get into your car would be like, "Whooooa, that's cool"

Default I have it on my car...

I should have showed you last night. Wish it was red to better match the interior.

It shows both vaccuum and boost. Vaccuum is shown in mmHg and boost is shown in kg/cm^3.

I haven't hooked up the turbo timer so can't tell you how that works. I was going to get AMS to install it for me but they don't want to do that type of work on weekends.

Default Look at the AWE center vent gauge. I think it's the best.
