Boost Gauge- Where to tap IM?
Hey is anybody running an analog boost gauge? If so where did you mount the gauge and where did you tap the intake manifold for the feed? Pics would be nice...

Ya, that's where I was thinking. Where did you mount the gauge in your CLS?

I have some defi gauges lying around from my last ride. Was thinking about mounting it up on the headliner near the rearview mirror. I really want to be the only one to see it. Trying to avoid the ricer pillar look but would REALLY like to know my boost level.

i would like to ask are you going to use a manual boost gauge or a electrical one? If you use a electrical one you can get the signal from the map sensor dont need to tap the surge tanks.

I just happen to have one lying around that I was going to hook up temporarily. I just bought an OT-2 kit with LC-1 Widedand kit from Innovate, so I will use that to reference boost and AF longer term.
