For the tinkerer only.
Boost and AFR gauges integrated into the tacho of your car.
Contains some detailed step by step instructions on how to separate your instruments, replace stepper motors, and put it all back together.

I quite like this idea, but i've been wondering if anyone has hacked the trip computer. Surely an electrical engineer would be able to add an extra selectable option to the trip computer. That would be the ultimate boost display for me...
Alas, i'll probably just buy a vent gauge soon.
ive seen it on an s4, i would like to know how its doneQuote:

The only problem with the trip computer is that the eeprom (assuming it's an eeprom of course) would have to be reprogrammed. You could potentially run it off a map sensor somewhere and bring it back to a custom box to decode the signal, but the MFD eprom would still need to know how to display that information signal, and therein lies the hard part.
a digital boost gauge would be hard to read cos the number would be constantly changing. I reckon your typical dial is much easier to read
Yep, I reckon that's why digital speedos never took off, but LED odometers are fine. Stepper motor dial with ability to turn on a peak hold function when required is good.Quote:

this one looks better, but is for an s4
