my first interior mod... boost and rich/lean gauge installed!!!
:v after hours of measuring, trying to custom fit, cutting, running wires, figuring alternatives for this or that, and some custom fabrication, i have the result...

1st gear peaked at only 12psi for some reason (maybe b/c i stomped it from a roll when it wasnt under boost yet and needed a bit more gear to get full boost)... the other gears peaked at 17.5psi!! Its fun to see the electromagnetic clutch on the s/c work as boost picks up and drops right back off into 0 or vacuum!!

'02 C32 AMG
There's a nice how-to on this SLK32 site on installing a boost gauge. I would imagine the procedure is very similar on a C32:
