Hotrodpez Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I want to keep my interior as stock looking as possible. However, I want to run a boost gauge and a AFR gauge. The other stock gauges are staying. So I only have one hole (the old clock) and two gauges. What I want to try to do is make a dual gauge that will show both boost and AFR. Now I can either modify an aftermarket boost gauge and merge an aftermarket digital AFR gauge into it, or I can try to make a microcontroller that modifies the signals from a boost pressure sender and the O2 sensor to output signals that would work in a stock Oil press / water temp gauge, and then just relabel the gauge. Anybody ever open up a boost gauge? Is there room in there for the digital readout of a AFR gauge (I can re-solder the display to a ribbon cable and put the circuitry somewhere else) Or do you think it's possible to build a microcontroller to do what I suggested? Or should I stop obsessing and just get a pillar gauge pod or mount it where the AC controls go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrodpez Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 On another thought, am I just too dumb to realize that this has been done before and I can buy exactly the gauge I want at Autozone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
