It's funny that in the prior post you said:
Yet you give me sh*t about not wearing my seatbelt like you have NEVER driven your car without the use of one and then you make an asinine statement and again I quote:
I mean seriuosly, what does that mean and how would one "wash" themselves out at all? Pretty stupid especially for trying to sound so smart? Lol, but you win at the "E" flex here, Good Job.
Thanks!
It's an Autometer and it cost's about $75. Any decent autoshop should have one or you can order it online.

It's entirely possible. I'll double check when the temp is below 100 degrees in the shade. Though, at this point, I'd still leave it as-is, out of sheer laziness.

Really? Are we serious? The "your" being used for both its correct form and in place of the correct "you're" gives me a headache. If you're going to act as though you are superior to anyone perhaps you should start at ground level and not look like a complete moron as you call others "useless". Boy you have started out on the wrong foot.
FYI - a 2005 C230K has no more monetary value than lots of these Hondas. And 8000k = useless on any car.

Second your car is worth what 10-14k right that is not expensive at all. Did you buy your car new? if so then you can say that it was more expensive but the majority of us on here are the second owners so we can't really say we spent that much on them. My 01 was $39,735 not including shipping and tax. did i pay that no so I don't go around saying I paid so much for my car I paid less than the cost of a nicely equipped fit lol

LOL He's just the typical person who buys a MB for the "class" he lacks.
8K HIDs are useless, and sadly my 2003 C230 is worth only a little more than a 2003 Civic, despite costing $15K more new
Back on topic: OP the boost gauge is cool, and good location too!

Hostile individuals here huh? Do you guys actually read posts?
I didn't think so. About all W203 in here have HIDS, bix or some other lighting.... i guess your the few who can't afford them...

as for being the few who can't afford them? speak for yourself. and it's "you're" not "your".
apparently you don't know much about HID's. HID's and BIX are great, not ricey. it gets ricey when you put on 8000k temp bulbs or kits.

What do you mean speak for myself?! I've bought some..And installed them thanks to MBWorld.
Dude... I own HID's. They are the ones who are saying they are usless? Did you read what i actually wrote, or only selected a few words because of my warning?
I wasn't offensive. I have 6k HID's? And this all started saying his mod wasn't ricey... And i wasn't aware the term rice could be hurtful.. so i apologized.
Jesus... Maybe i'll just stop with this post... But seriously.. I like the mod.. end of story, that's it!

Where is a good place to put the vacuum line of a mechanical boost gauge? I have an 02 coupe with the M111 engine. Here is a pic below I found online of where I think it could go, any suggestions?
Seems like my bypass valve stays open. Hopefully it'll get fixed after resetting it again!
