Boost Guage Install -- I did a search but my search terms never work ;)
Anyone got one ? Got a picture ?
When I had my audi I integrated a boost guage into my air vent that was great to make sure car was performing to spec.
How easy is it to do and where would you tap in ?

I have a boost port on my '05 E55 (for dyno purposes) because there is no real good place to tap unless you start disassembling things. Best is to drill/tap and put a port in a easy to reach location.
I will see if I can get a picture of it.

tap either the intercooler y-pipe or intake manifold.
or you can purchase an OBDII gauge that will read out the intake manifold pressure (boost).

Thats pretty much how id did mine, Mine is on the out side of the intercooler with a 90 fitting so it will clear the air filter assembly. It was easy(and the car still ran afterwards) maybe a 2 hour job, Would be a good time to order phenolic spacers!!

I used an Aeroforce gauge pictured in this thread.

Converts the MAP to read vacuum/boost in inHg/PSI using the barometer reading as a reference. No need to tap and run any tubing or wires.
