I looked into gauges allot Kirk, I would love to have gauges that would warn me if the levels reached a predetermined level. But I did not want to spend the money for them. I decided to go with a VDO setup. I placed a boost gauge and oil temp in my HVAC slot.
In time I will add a series of LEDs to my tach to notify me of full boost and another for over boost. AFR and other functions will be monitored through a Brockway 920 mounted in the normal radio location.
I could not find a picture of the 2 gauge pod for the Boxster either. I did buy the single gauge pod and figured a way to mount it for my boost gauge, The reason I did not use it was the mechanical boost tubes looked like &*^% exposed on my savanah dash and I did not want to dismantle my dash to do the best looking install so I compromised.
In my search for gauges I liked the Nexus line the best because they had all of the features and they looked OEM, the reason I did not go with them was that the illumination is not adjustable. I drive with my dash lights at about 20% of total brightness and having bright gauges in my vision would drive me nuts.
Most of the LED lit gauges do not have the ability to adjust their illumination, the manufacturers all said LEDs can not my dimmed. I don't think they are right but I was not going to argue with them, I just did not buy their products.
Good luck in your search. On my home computer I have links to all kinds of gauge companies. I will post them here tomorrow.
