boost gauge for S6



Bob:

For God's sake don't put the boost gauge in the dash.  When I had the 94 S4,
I had the ashtray taken out and the resulting area combined with the open
cubby space below it provided a hole big enough to two mechanical gauges
side by side.  I put a mechanical airplane boost gauge(measuring in abolute
inches of mercury) along with a dual gauge.  They were mounted in faceplate
of black leather.  Looked stock and they were white faced gauges to boot!  A
much better choice. Had the whole thing done by Hibernia Restoration at the
time along with an ABT rear wing.
