The photo of the modded 4S @ topgear reminded me that I was going to ask if you've found a good solution to aftermarket boost / AFR gauge for a car that does NOT have the speedo computer.
Not looking for serous bling, just the facts mam.
If you have, please post a vendor name and a photo of your installation?
I will have to take an install picture later, but I recently had my clock converted to an analog boost gauge by these guys: http://wsm.de/
Wilhelm Jurgen and his partner do top notch work, and were extremely easy to communicate with. They were able to perfectly match the red gauge faces I have from FVD. I can't recommend them enough. Because it is an analog gauge, we did have to run a nylon line from the engine up to the dash for the install. That was a pain, but worth it in my opinion.

Thanks for posting this.
I think I saw your thread in the 964 forum (993?).
I like the fact that you / they were able to conserve the warning light functionality.
I sent the clock in with the red FVD face. They did not destroy that face, and sent it back. That being said, I really wouldn't have cared if they had destroyed it to match the color. It's not like I am going to use the red clock face going forward.
They told me it would take about 30 days to do the work, but they finished it in 2 weeks.

This cost ~ $1100??
not cheap, but seems very well done.
cheers
The cost from WSM was about 500 Euro plus shipping, which prob ended up being about another $100-$150, so definitely not cheap. And installation is a not cheap/easy, but I really like the way it looks, and as you mentioned, preserves all warning light functionality.
Got my clock conversion boost gauge - comes with a 'Y' pipe. Any guidance on installation? I'll probably see if RMG can do it but any further info? Is it going to tear up other parts of my car to get it connected?
Again, WSM, very fast turn around so thanks to them.
That's not correct plus $127 for expedited shipping to Germany.
Again, wsm/jurgen was super easy to deal with. I'm just trying figure out if there are and tricks to hooking it up. Analog boost gauge fits a very analog car. Would it connect to the intake manifold somewhere? It's just running it back how I'm wondering. To me it's a cool mod would like to do the steering wheel next.
My boost gauge is located in place of the ash tray. It was a place that was never used and did not require any dash modification.
This only issue is that you have to take your eyes off the road to look at the readings.
^mine goes through the hole under the rear seat. Be careful to protect those plastic tubes well, easy place to get minor boost leak and weird boost readings. I've threaded mine through a small dia silicone tube along essentially its whole length to protect it.

Aftermarket "add-on" boost / AFR gauge?
