Default Boost Gauge installed

In the past I posted a question regarding the process of removing the stock clock so that I can place a boost gauge there. With the help of the forum members I learned not to disconnect the clock but to store it behind the dash still connected. I said I would place photos of the boost gauge when complete. Here they are

Thats a good one, it has all the warning/indicator lights. I wanted to be able to record peak boost.

Here is my low-rent version that I added recently. I wanted to ratain the clock. I know it is poorly placed, etc. But is better than no gauge, which is what I started with!

Amen texas993. I never understood why Porsche gave us a electronic boost gauge that doesn't read over 0.8bar. It's pretty useless.

Well, I think it's because a stock motor does not boost above 0.8 bar.

I email him at, rce.kowalik@t-online.de last January and got the following reply;

Hello Chuck,
I built some of these special gauges for my car and some friends.
I can built you a gauge, shown on the photo, in silver.
If you send me the original clock for the conversion, the price is 590,00 EUR + shipping.

Best regards,

Romuald
