boost gauge question
Is the factory boost gauge electric or mechanical?

Gonna go with electric. Just a guess so it will be neat to find out the answer to that. I will stay tuned.

There are no mechanical gauges left in these cars anymore. It's all CAN bus now. Sensors go the ECM first and then it tells the gauges what to tell you.

My cobra still had a mechanical boost gauge. Was hoping this car did too, makes adding an aftermarket boost gauge much easier. The floor level boost gauge isn't cutting it for me!

I have mine mounted on a A-pillar mount. The only problem is when I am going fast enough to read when I am in boost...do I really want to take my eyes off the course to take a peek up at the gauge??

Thought I saw/read something on a mod to the HUD that has the boost feature on it. Really be nice to have on the Heads Up Display. I'll see if I can find it.
