Yeah I found the HKS in no time in a Google search and was just an example however the Zeitronix I mentioned earlier is way better but still expensive.

I wanted this one but decided to spend my money on the Volvo scan tool which is good as I can clear codes but the data logging is lest than perfect.

Am interested

[Gruelius]

id go for putting it on the instrument cluster. find a way to remove one of the more boring gauges and replace it with boost

one guy does it for e30's

Common you've had a month, this should be finished by now, I want pics.

Cool but if your interested in seeing your boost pressure surely your interested in the state of your manifold at all times so why not also show vac.?

Read into Arduino.

Probably the best solution. You could even get an inverted orange LCD that looks exactly the same as the stock one.

Pretty big learning curve for someone whos never done programming though

Heh heh heh, yeah I know, I'm still looking into this. I have started to collect information and equipment and will be getting there slowly.

I've decided to up the ante a bit and do a full car pc that will have heaps of functions, but it's going to take a while. I'll do a full build thread on my blog and post here with updates when I can.

And damn straight. Although, I've done programming, not the issue - it's the electronics side I have to learn... probably a bigger task.

So for the record, I will be using arduino. I'm going to start off with using a netbook computer that will plug into an arduino box with a bunch of stuff plugging into the arduino box. Once that all works well, I'll move from the netbook to a tablet pc and then to a fully run arduino set up with a TFT display. But that may take a really long time. I'm researching and learning at the moment and will let you guys know how I go.
