IMO, I wouldn't be altering the clock of my car for that. Granted, it gives a clean appearance but the clock is more than a clock in a 965. I can't recall all the functions in the clock but if you make a mistake during the mod you will be chasing problems forever. Besides, who is brave enough to take their eyes off the road during acceleration to check their boost? I'm not. It's far safer to have a gauge that will capture what the peak boost was so I can look at it while sitting in my driveway.
Your boost isn't going to magically change all on it's own unless if you put a boost controller on your engine. Then if you're twisting that boost **** without adding fuel you are truly playing with fire.
The Innovate PSB-1 is really good for monitoring boost level in addition to being able to capture AFR data laid against boost and rpm. If you tune your engine yourself, this is really valuable data to have. If you don't, then the cosmetic solution may be for you.

if i read the pictures right, the warning lamps are still there. so nothing changes. you drill the plug and the clock.
and add the preasure line last.
but you are right. i have my afr gauge ( andial ) in the left blower opening in dash. i never ere able to look
at it at wot. no chance (-:

Bingo. All my warning lights work. Gauge comes back only need to hook up the pressure line. Plenty of space to drill a hole.

Nothing changes except you are tampering with old, fragile electronics. That was my point, rather than removing the clock function.
I always wondered why Porsche decided a clock was more important than having an ammeter and transaxle oil temp gauge or something like that.

Not sure what is being tampered and fragile. There is already a hole in the circuit board where the boost input pin is located. The process of removing the clock is no different than replacing odometer gears in the speedometer gauge.

Guys, unfortunately WSM Tachometerdienst GmbH is not offering this mod anymore, unfortunately Mr Wilhelm is not working anymore as he got sick.
Any idea who in Europe is offering this mod?

thanks

That sucks. i think this is a great Mod. I installed my Andial Boost gauge back in 1999. Tossed the Clock to get stranded on the highway shortly after. That Alternator light must be active. So I relocated that clock gauge. It really didn't look good.
Another Gauge restoration shop needs to buy their parts to make this work. I would love to have one. Please keep us posted. Thank you
