Today i fitted an electronic boost gauge since the one i had on my car was an analog Wika and was not very accurate. So I found a cheap one on ebay and I bought it. It was very easy to fit and included everything such as installation manual and elastic hose. For the time being i have a gauge holder for the center of the dash but it needs many modifications to fit in my car. So I decided that i will use the ashtray as a gauge holder since i do not smoke and it is a good position to fit the gauge and also it has a good visual contact. I did a hole in the ashtray and also on the center dash console in order to accomodate the gauge. I used a drill and also the dremel to open the hole. For 12Volt power supply I used the lighter supply which provides power with the inginition in start. Here are some pics how the gauge looks fitted in place.

Thanks mate, I was looking to get one with three digits in order to know exactly what is the boost pressure but i could not find one. I am not sure if the AEM boost pressure is so accurate. I will have to hold on this one until i find something better and more accurate. It was the only place that i think it is worth fitting a gauge without using a gauge holder on the center of the dash or on the front pillar.
