If you follow the link I posted its all there. Moved it to the left side of the dash. I have a $60 servo that I used to control temp but havent found the damn thing yet. I am NOt gonna buy another one so for now temp is controled via me leaning over and flipping the handle lol.


A/C control head board cut and rewired for piggyback setup.

My Techedge is also hooked up to the carpc so yes, I can see live data on those on a somewhat digital dash using TEWBLOG. Right now it reads RPM, AFR, Boost, TEMP and Throttle but can be wired to whatever as long as you scale it. BTW for oil pressure etc it cannot be a machanical guage.

The monitor is a Lilliput 8" touchscreen with VGA inputs for PC's. I had some trouble with it so I'm not sure I would recommend it. I had to rewire the friggin cable due to a bad grounding 9pin din plug. Common issue on these after I googled. Cost about 300 bucks and so far well worth it. The image quality is supurb.

i know it cant be a mechanical guage, but you could use a low resitance slider pot that gets pushed forward during boost with a spring to roll it back to 0 when say boost was over and have that wired up then take a few diffrent boost readings get the scale of it. and write a program to take thoes readings and display them.
