isn't the C32 naturally aspirated? if you think a boost gauge is going to help your power though, i'm not sure you'd know.

if it's NOT supercharged or turbo'd, a boost gauge won't DO anything. if it DOES have forced induction, it only serves as a measure of how much air is being forced into your motor, as measured in pressure per square inches. unless you're running a complicated setup requiring careful tuning, a boost gauge is really unnecessary.
