I put a boost guage on my E for fun, and have it setup for easy removal. If it goes to the dealer with the gauge in will i have issues?

Generally - no way. If, however, you develop a problem (inability to maintain boost) that is traced to a leak in the t-valve to which the boost guage is connected, then I can see them hitting you for labor to diagnose your problem. But, if properly installed, I can't imagine how anything else that goes wrong with your car can fairly be claimed by the dealer to have resulted from your boost guage.

I put it together kinda quickly, its mainly there to see exactly what kind of boost i'm running..... i may redo. Sorry for the crummy pics, i can't find my digital, had to use the video cam.

i don't want to mount anything to the a pillar. i'll probably only keep it there while testing some other things on the car, then when those are finalized i think i'll pull it

Yeah, I would definitely trash it once you're done. No offense, but it looks like crap.
