Unfortunately, no.
I thought I had a line on someone local (New Vintage Gauges) but they said they don't have a Porsche technician to do the work.
I'm checking with with North Hollywood Speedometer now.

5 years later... having a little trouble sourcing the people who do/did this conversion and/or any actual parts avail. Any current info on this?

I think you can buy it through Patrick Motorsports. Pricey, though.

These were done by David from InYourFaceGauges. I no longer see any links to him so I can only assume he went out of business. He used the PLX Devices.

The gauges in my turbo used to be on his website. They worked nicely it is a shame nobody does this anymore.

I had mine installed in a non OBC tach saving my original tach if I want to put it back to stock. Far easier to read under acceleration than the clock and far more accurate. I am sure it will take some work but can be a DIY project if you have the skills.

Found that one in Germany ... not so fancy like the others (more 930 3.0 oriented, I guess) but it does the work.

The problem with that gauge is that you lose the warning lights in the clock as well as the fact that you need the alternator warning light in the clock as it's part of the charging circuit. I've heard that some people install the 930 boost gauge and leave the clock hooked up, sitting behind it.

For my 964 C2 twin turbo project I have been researching this type of gauge. I think I have found the right guy to do this in The Netherlands where I'm from.
Talking to him I certainly got the impression he knows his stuff.

I need a mechanical pressure gauge for my project, as I have a 1990 C2.

Anyway, he is building a turbo pressure gauge right in my clock and it get a new faceplate of course.

Should be done in a couple of weeks, I'll post results.

Looking forward to it.

advantage of leaving the clock connected behind the dash is that you don´t have issues with the central indicator (exclamation point in the tach). in order to get the battery charged it is sufficient to use another unlined bulb in one of the other instruments as charging warn light. there is just need for exciting current.

i found the needle in a haystack and got myself one of these gauges with drag indicator. its original VDO from 1979 and has been used in 934 to 962. think it increases worth of my 965 by nearly 50% .....

Actually Porsche used "Contactless" gauges in the 962. The boost gauge was a POS, not sure why they didn't use VDO. Although this is a very nice unit I had one on a 79 turbo years ago. The advantage is it is one of the few with a tell tale indicator to read max boost. I can't see my clock no matter what I do so having the gauge in the tach works far better for me but seeing max boost is nice.

Here is the gauge they used in the 962. This is the Rothman's car. My friend has one of them and they are very poorly built.

hi anthony,

i think, that you´re right.
i´ve seen pix of al street legal 962, this particular car was equiped with the VDO gauge, maybe not genuine.

Turbo gauge being worked on at the moment, should be ready soon.
Posted these pics in another thread but they belong here as well.

Wow. Fantastic work
