Who has a turbo gauge in their car ?
I need one for my 300sd but i need one that will fitt with the inside
where did you guys put it ?
what brand ?

In my humble opinion every car equiped witha turbo should come out of the factory with a boost gauge

In a week or so when I have time I'm going to remove my ash tray assembly, and in its place I'm mounting a panel to hold the three gauges I got, Voltage, Boost, and Oil Temp, they'll all mount perfectly in that spot, and they're all matching and backlit, its pretty neat, plus I can see every single vital sign of my car, which is awesome.

I modified the vacuum "economy" gauge from a gasser to operate on boost pressure. In between the needle posts, it's adjusted to read from 5 to 16 psi, which is all I need for a stock turbo configuration. I'm installing a pyrometer in the ashtray.

I have a isopro boost gauge and pyrometer I am trying to find somewhere to poke...
They are very simple and clearcut...black with white letters.
Depends upon your interior I imagine....and of course your personal prefrences...

Find one you like and post a picture for us to critcize

Surplus Center has a boost gage for 10.99.

I'm not a certified mechanic, but I did stay at a HolidayInn Express last night.

i'm thinking of a retro looking gauge with a pod and i will mount the pod low near the dash
I like the isopro look i think it will look neat
will post pictures when the operations is completed



For my jetta i changed twice the gauge cause i didn't like how it fitted
