Got myself an Economy Gauge (W123)
I pulled it from a 1985 280CE Euro. I know about how some convert it into a boost gauge, but I figure if I were to keep an eye on my boost, I'd just get the real deal VDO gauge. What I'm going to do with this is tee into the vacuum line running into the VCV and have it operate like it would on the gassers. It's purely for eye candy purposes and conversation starters at MB GTGs (say, why does yours have that economy gauge? Does it really work?) After I got it, I noticed the folks at the Pick-A-Part marked the gauge with some yellow paint for warranty purposes. They put the paint on the white backing, I'm hoping that won't affect its operation, will it? Sorry for the blurriness.
