[s-cars] Boost Gauge, Pods, Autometer IC guage

[steve powers]

I've got only the stock IC currently. The Davtron is hooked
up with the outlet temp of the IC on one channel and the
ambient air temp on the other. With nominal cruise, I see
single digit temp differential between the two. The other
extremes are after a hard pull (~30-40 degrees)and restarting
after shutdown/heat soak (over 100 degrees).

A fellow Audi nut had the other channel of his Davtron
hooked up to the x-over pipe. He lost two sensors due
to heat???, vibration??? sunspots??? before finding
another home. He's got an FMIC in addition to the stock
one and put it in between to get outlet temp from each.
