All good comments from everyone, you just need to buy ALL of the products. I myself like my stock clock. My alarm has built in turbo timer. My ebc has digital boost display.

Just a few comments - some of the OBD indicator lights for the 964 Turbo are embedded in the clock. You can not remove it and put a boost gauge in its place like you can in a 930. I suppose you could tie it down inside the dash keeping all the connections in place then use the conventional boost gauge that fits in the clock opening.
Alternatively, Andial makes a boost gauge that fits in the air vent next to the driver's door. That's what I have. I look at it occassionally when I am on the track to make sure my boost is where I set it, but as someone else says, once it kicks in my eyes are focus on the road ahead.
Other than that you can use a digital gauge like Nathan, but that doesn't appeal to me - I don't need to see it all the time. Really, once you set the wastegate spring, there is not a lot to go wrong. I am more concerned about my A/F mixture (just had a Motec Professional Lambda Meter installed down in the console).

I don't really want an after market gague after thinking about it for a few days.
I will buy another Tacho though with it just so I can have one.
Pointless really, but so are a lot of other things!

I chose the clock spot to install my boost gauge. Looks just like the other factory gauges. Works great, easy to see when you need to look at it.. These are only about $200 at Performance Products...

I might look into that Bob. Thats a good looking gague.
I never realised that the gravitational pull from the moon did that to gagues in the Northern Hemisphere though!

Yeah funny how gravity thing works. My gauges just always kept twisting all by themselves. Here is a more complete pic of the gauge. They also have tell tale models, but I do not like these. The mechanical act of having the to move the needle can give you false readings. Also, it will tell you max boost, but not when. On acceleration, or when letting off the throttle. In any case, I do like a NICE LARGE gauge where I do not have take my eyes far from the road.
