Question Displaying Supercharge pressure

I have a C230K, just wondering if the multi-purpose display on the dash can display the superchager pressure like those after market turbo meter? So I can know what kind of pressure the supercharger is producing while I am driving.

Someone from mbnz.org hooked up an HKS boost gauge in his SLK 32 and he detailed the setup in his webpage

It's good to see what psi your S/C is running sometimes. I don't think i would have it on a stock C230K, but if you where Modified then i would say go for it.

gauge

i was thinking of installing a boost gauge just for the fun of it. even though it would serve no purpose for me at all. maybe just another distraction to me while i drive.

Why on a stock car?

I think it's always good to know if your car is healthy. Lets say your not running at much boost as you should be?

Thanks

Thanks, but thats not my GF. Just some biker chick I met a laguna seca. The turbo prelude is lots of fun, so is the M3.
I don't own a mercedes, but I did consider a CLK55 before goin going with the M3. My girlfriend has a C-coupe, so thats why I lurk around here.
