..on installing a boost gauge? I know the CX7 runs 15.6 psi but it would be nice to monitor boost.

I will make sure to post pics when I figure out where to mount one.;)

Great idea. How much will that cost? Does Mazda offer it aftermarket?

I have a 5.7 liter chevy truck with a 5 speed tranny and while it was built for me Chevy would not allow me to get the dash option which came with a tach... Only for automatics I was told by chevy... Huhhhhhhhhh?

Now I have a car with a turbo engine and no boost gauge... Huhhhhhhh?

Makes one wonder who they have specifying the options on cars these days. I guess soccer moms are the focus groups they use and they don't know what these are for anyway so why offer them.

If you find a clean way to do this let me know.. I just don't see anywhere clean to put one.....

I am in the planning right now....just need some things.

As far as having a turbo car with no boost gauge....my fricking EVO did come with one...and that is a performance car.:eek:
