Gauges in a benz ?
I don't want to be ricey or anything but does anyone have gauges in their benz ? Since the c230ks are supercharged, i guess you could legitly have a gauge for the boost ?
Also, how hard would it be to install these

This is what a lot of members have. I have the same one but mounted right below the speedometer. I'll try to see if I can find a picture of mine.

MB’s of all kinds.
I as well have seen this done. No harm in it I dont think as long as its done right. I mean dont like stick it where its very noticable to everyone. Putting it in a ash tray is a good idea or like the link obove me did with his R230 SL. Good spot I think.

I think that discreetly done on the drivers screen pillar looks best & is totally reversible without damaging anything. They are out of the way & easy to read. Pods are available in the right colour.
Who cares if someone thinks it's rice. Function over form for me without screwing up the dash.

Bummer...
I made a custom dual pod mold for the A Pillar, the person that wanted the pod did not pay...I did not want it...no one else wanted it...I scrapped the mold...

I have a DashDyno SPD which monitors my boost, IATs, coolant temps, voltage, timing, etc through OBDII and it looks pretty clean.
and yes, i think that usually doing an A pillar pod setup on a benz would look silly. how much boost are c230s making anyway?
to the OP, is there an actual reason why you want/should be monitoring boost? or is it just for show/looks?
