My "sleeper" Boost Gauge install

[Kryckter]

Switched up the gauge to digital and finished running all wires and selecting my 12v switched ground....just have to solder in and it will be done. Also finished the plastic work and sealing/silicone and weatherstripping to divert the airflow to the other two vents with no leaks. Didn't want the gauge to get condensation or make noise. Mao sensor went in unsused 1/8" port that was urged from Whipple.

Do you like the digital gauge? I actually have a digital gauge on my boost controller and was looking at adding an analog. Its hard for me to glance over and get a good idea on the digital. This may be because on my turbo kit when the wastegate is open the digital bounces all over the place...

Honestly I love it - is it the AEM gauge? It has a color band around the outside that is vacuum/boost and not a/f and a secondary number reading. . I'm PD with a whipple 2.9 and I only want it for quick glances to verify pressure at WOT. I'm not really concerned not looking at it on decel

Here's a night shot coasting -where did you mount yours?

How did you wire it up ?

The AEM gauge comes with a MAP sensor weatherproof oem style connector under the hood and a harness that splits off in two at the gauge. I then disassembled the console and head unit a little bit and then soldered the 12v and ground in to the power/ground on the center console there was a 0-5v output wire for data logging but I'm running the Whipple box tune and honestly I haven't had any need to datalog the car so that's just eclectric taped back on to the pigtail.. It works perfect. Only I can see it in the car and when I'm not racing the car I can just flip the vent cover down and hide it. Let me know if you want pics or anything.
