Wow! I had no idea that C32's ran or could handle 20psi. I'm happy with my little 6lbs. Your car looks great, maybe I will do something like you or due the apillar pod guage I have already started.

05 ML-500 , 03 CLK5.5 AMG has left the Garage
gauge set up

Looks like 16 inchs of vaccum to me . Boost /pressure is on the other side of the Gauge. I like in the console setup, but would prefer black face with white numbers. And pipe lighting to the pointer. Also I use to set up the gauge or turn the gauge , so the pointer was straight up under full throttle conditions. That way I could just glance , see it straight up and know that it was within parameters . That way I didn't have to think about it , and could concentrate on my driving. Plus other people looking in at your dash or console wonder way your gauges are ***$eyed LOL Nice video

Do you have some sources or nudges in the right direction to do a boost guage like this. Have been thinking about this mod the last few days.

Well, I'm trying to learn, so this is a chance to learn to do something that should be fairly easy if I educate myself properly. If I lived there I might go to your guy to fix things when I muck it up, I'm going to try it myself I found another thread similarly subject'd with pics and someone said they did theirs with the vaccuum line so I'm hunting that down.
