[s-cars] Trip computer display

[Mark Strangways]

Rob, I developed a stock look boost gauge using a stock Audi oil pressure 
gauge.
I recalibrated it to read and scale how I wanted, and used a 0-30 psi VDO 
sensor.
Modified the secondary IC, and I now have a very fast and accurate boost 
gauge.
May not be for everyone, as it does involve some time and lots of patience.
The same idea has been used with aftermarket gauges, though they don't match 
100%.

Too bad you don't have the 92 IC as it would have been quite handy.
