An idea for boost gauge.
Dunno if anyone has thought of this. Y not convert the battery meter gauge over to a boost gauge. Who ever looks at that gauge anyway. Don't know if this could be possible but it would definitely be cool if it could be done.<p><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/audiworldpics/2000/jdulacsig.jpg" BORDER=0> </a>

If you could convert the pressure to volts and then it would be easy
You could still use the same gauge, you'd just need a way to input a voltage to the gauge. Isn't there already somewhere you could tap into if you wanted to add an electronic boost guage (instead of the mechanical that most (all?) of us have).
Who did the LED boost gauge? Audizone? check there for where he got his input signal.
Take that signal, alter it as needed to correspond to an ouput voltage that is within the volt readings on the current gauge.
Then get a new sticker made for the instrument cluster.<p>Mark P

If you could figure it out...that'd be awesome.

Someone has actually done this
When the archives come back up, you can dig around in there for the info. They also used a switch so you could toggle between boost guage and volt meter.<p>Regards,

We're gonna expect a faq on this..:). BTW, why is your subject different when you go into your post?
