Default I WANT this Turbo Boost Gauge - Help

I did a search and came up with the below boost gauge. md11plt posted it in February of 2009. The only info I can come up with on the seller is his email; rce.kowalik@t-online.de. I emailed him at this address and haven't heard back. I figure he may use another address or have a site.

The original posting is here;

Any help is appreciated.

A toast in memory of 'Uncle Tom,' md11plt, R.I.P. Thomas Sila.
_______________________________________________________________________

Chuck-- I can't post without saying again how I luv your Turbo photographs & the fact you're putting those mirrors to good use.

This past week I was researching md11plt's posts about this gauge, & daydreaming about ordering it. I'd have done exactly what you did. If you don't hear from Romuald @ that e-mail address, best thing is to contact RLer -CD- (Christian) directly. He's the main RL link to this craftsman. If anyone has Romuald's eBay seller name & can post it here, that would be helpful, too. (I think RLer Porschemeister ordered a gauge from him, so I'll try to ask PMeister about this.)

In addition to Thomas' "It's here. It's here. OH MAN IT'S FINALLY HERE!" thread you mentioned, you'll find more good information on the two threads referenced in my following posts with photos from them.

Good luck -- Romuald's seems to be a really well made, very useful gauge, & may be the only choice on the market, IF it's still made. (North Hollywood Speedometer, are you listening?)

IIRC this is RUF's discontinued gauge:

NHS (north hollywood speedometer) did not reply yet to my request...

this is an alternative to the clock location IMO this is much better.

Good to hear about his workmanship.

Where did you run your vacuum line from?

Great info Curve Lover.

I believe that Felix ID'ed the seller in that eBay listing. It is pricey at around $1031 USD plus shipping.
