I Miss Not Having A Boost Gauge :(

All of my prior boosted vehicles had a Boost gauge, even the Kawy GPz 750 Turbo motorcycle that I bought back in 1985, and my Buick Grand National.

I really miss not having a boost gauge. It is important to know when and how much boost you are using. I have an itch to install my own. Really you should have two, one for the left bank and one for the right since there are two separate intake plenums on the V8 engine. I would probably "T" a line between the two.

It would be great if you could pull this information from the computer or there would be a way to get this information from the sensors. It seems a little old fashioned to install a gauge with a pressure line going to the engine.

I will probably work on this at some point in the near future if I don't come across a better way to figure out what the boost is. Any suggestions are welcome.
