You mean something like this? Is this a factory set up? I know it needs a gauge on each side. I will probably go with oil pressure and possibly temp.

Or you could just man up and admit your just mad because you looked foolish in another one of my threads. You can post all the cheap shots you want about my mods or my car and it wont upset me because you and your opinions mean nothing to me, understand?

Hi,

???... Little voices in your head today?

Just to avoid any further misunderstanding, this isn't related to any other threads whatever. I think it looks idiotic and RICER. Or did you only post this thread for those who are 100% in agreement with you?

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I won't speculate as to the danger. I will say, having instructed a student at Watkins Glen in his MCoupe (whose dash is the same as above) He had a hard time monitoring the gages in the lower dash. I often reminded him to check them and when I realize he wasn't I simply said.. "boy that looks hot.. what fluid is that ".. he then would move his eyes off the winsheild and down to the guage.

Some information is more important than others to a driver. Unless you suddenly LOST boost, it may not be something you need to always look at. Then again, on some cars (like a 930 or a WRX) you have (can have) a boost guage that is easily seen while driving without having to move your head/arms to see it.

Racer d,
Good points, I use the boost gauge more for vacuum at idle than pressure while driving it keeps me informed about the status of the SC duct work.
