Yes, that is what i am using the OBD-II gauge for, to let me know if I have a vacuum leak.

Is that just a standard 52mm gauge? I Was thinking i'd take out the bezel and do a good 60mm gauge, but that looks really clean.

Yes just a standard 52mm gauge. Still swivel too. I did this gauge because it shows both boost and wideband.

I would want a peak/hold boost gauge - the factory glass would be great to keep though. That looks like it belongs.

more details? looks like you didn't use the factory glass, is the factory bezel still in there? the chronograh looks bigger than standard 52mm is why I asked - but for sure just a USABLE clock would be better than the stupid chronograph.

The OBD boost feed is very accurate, but only reads to 1.55 bar. It is the instrument cluster itself that is innacurate.

I would like a standalone analogue gauge though for boost, but as OEM as possible.

52 mm....similar to the other installs have to remove the sport chrono and use the old plastic bezel. Then find power, ground and a switched source for the illumination, all available under the wart.

does that wart come right off? If I remove the factory bezel is there still a way to mount a gauge? I'm wondering if I can get a 60mm gauge in there.
