No more emergency flasher. Boost Gauge instead [pics]
No more emergency flasher. Boost Gauge instead [pics]
I'm not writing a tutorial for this one.
Last time I did this for the factory-like wideband...and I doubt anyone benefited.
This is a digital boost gauge. Reads up to 35psi.
Mounted in place of the factory emergency flasher button.
The button was relocated and hidden underneath the AC controls.

In my opinion, it's ok to be in the center of the car. Any gauge that you "need" to see should be datalogged.
It's tucked back so sunlight doesn't glare off the surface. It's very readable in the car.
The more important gauges are much closer to my line of sight.

Good luck

That is the reason I have my wideband in the gauge cluster.
The boost gauge is more just for confirmation that I'm not getting boost leaks or overboosting. Other than that, it's fairly useless in my opinion and shouldn't really be looked at when driving. That's why placement really doesn't matter all that much.

I wrote a mini tutorial on how to do it.

Check the image links.. Most of them no longer show...
I am actually going to be doing the same thing, only I'm using the guts of a PLX Devices AFR gage that has LED's surrounding the AFR value so I can see it out of my peripheral vision.
What unit did you use for the digital boost gage?
