Boost Gauge?
Is there a boost pressure gauge for M133 engines yet? Figured with the high boost of our engines it's pretty important to keep an eye on it especially with mods/tunes...haven't been able to find anything though...anyway to access the ECU reading through a diagnostic mode?

I don't think anyone has released a cla45 specific gauge that fits in Ac vent or something bespoke. You can probably use an electronic gauge and plug into the obdii port to read boost or you can deff use the tried and true method of getting a dedicated boost gauge from a company like DEFI and have it installed to tap into the intake manifold or somewhere to physically read boost. This works for any turbo car

you guys should write in and tell them there is a need for this. they will make it faster.
I have written in multiple times. do it so we can get this made and in our cars.
I had this in my BMW 335 and it is an amazing guage. looks great

I wish they included an analog one in the dash (Saab Turbo-style) but it would have been even better if they'd included a performance settings menu on the center screen (like they do in other AMG cars or even the new C300) that included a boost gauge (among other things).
I wonder how difficult it would be for one of the companies who has cracked the ECU to code a boost gauge into one of the menus on the dashboard (e.g., the AMG menu).
Aaaah, wishful thinking.

Funny you mention this as this is what I'm working on right now...already have various OBD2 data displayed on the command screen including boost pressure.
More info soon!
