a friend of mine with an 93 Audi 90 CS Quattro was browsing through AudiWorld and found this, and sent me the link. i pretty much thought it looked cool as fu*k, and was wondering if anyone has ever seen something like that for our cars...

HRC's is the Z-series, part number 2614.
I had to send mine back because it was off-calibrated by 6psi.

That boost guage is siiiiick tho :) I want one with blue and purple LED's... alright, who's making these out of modified A/F gauges?

Pretty easy to make a bar-graph boost gauge like that. Pressure sensors output a voltage based on pressure. There are drivers that can read voltage and turn on selected LEDs in a bar graph display. The only problem is getting is to look clean in the dash. That Audi one looks pretty sharp though.

I've never seen one like that but it doesn't really impress me. Did you know some later model S13s SE's came with Head Up Displays? That's pretty cool, you can get a HUD boost gauge also.
