Its funny how bent out of shape you guys get because I moved my boost gauge.

1 - if there is a problem, big leak, blown gasket, etc. You will feel it in the car. I don't need to see the gauge to tell me the car is slow/hurt.

2 - I don't need to watch the gauge go from -15 to 22 every single time.

3 - If I really needed to - bring a friend..have them watch the gauge -- hasn't happened yet.

I dont like it.. If your guages arnt in the line of sight whats the point of them!
They are there so u can monitor things.. its not a power adder.. no gonna do ANYTHING unless u can see em!

Where u gonna put ur next guage next to ur clutch...

Ha, I am loving this! Pushing the norms! This gauge is just for monitoring the boost level. Once set, I never look at it. I only change it when I am retuning for race gas.

Next gauge isn't even a gauge. Its a wire - a/f wire to be exact.

Didn't mount on the dash or cubbyhole since I use them. A-pod is annoying as all hell and my gear indicator is there. Column - blocked dash.

Doesn't mean it doesn't have to be civil at times She is also my DD.

Right now, its probably blasphemy - the wing is off for the winter, my exhaust silencer is back in, and she is dirty.

Basically, its a sedan right now.
