Oh I forgot to ask,

If one did do a mechanical gauge in the dash and left the connector empty back there, There should not be any ECU issues, correct? It would be the same as a OEM gauge going dead. No?

For a while I was thinking going the same path. The truth is you will not be looking at your gauge while your pedal is down. It would be nice to log what boost you ran but that requires a data logger. Another approach is to instal a mechanical gauge in the engine bay sitting just high enough where you could see it in the rear view mirror.

QUOTE=2112;296642]Where are you picking up at the Manifold?[/QUOTE] I think with a turbo, anywhere after the turbo, with a blower it has to be below the rotors. There is a fitting below the fuel pressure sensor with a spare connection that has a rubber cap on it.

If you have a SCT tunner you can use a GM 3 bar map sensor and log it with your SCT. All you need is some wire, a 5v regulator and either a DIN or Firewire connector for your SCT.
