Hey guys so after searching for a VERY long time. I have decided to replicate these. If anyone is willing to help out a little I will be willing to share what I have done so far. I have a buddy who owns a sign shop. He is going to print out a few decals to go over the original econo meter. It will state Boost at the bottom and go from -15psi to 22psi. I have assembled all of the parts I need.

If anyone wants to follow along

I'm using a Arduino atmega328 to provide PWM to a stepper motor. $15
Stepper is Switec X25.168 or clones from VID and MCR. You can pick up the steppers on eBay for less than $5 each
Then just wires, other odds and ends. I will probably 3d print the stepper motor mount that will align the needle perfectly.

I didn't want to post anything until I was sure I could do this.

I do need some help with the Arduino coding if anyone would be willing to help!

I have done lots of Arduino projects but this will be my first from scratch with my own code. so please have patience and I will share pics and updates as I have them.

I will start a new thread soon with info so we can all share progress.

I should have bought 3 of these when they were available... the one I did buy was one of the coolest products I had purchased on the turbo car. Which was recently sold on... :(

Thanks!

I think I will message him to see if he can use any of the research I have done.

I'm want this so bad! :p

[Bme3092]

I have one of these, absolutely love it! Just wish I got the 30psi boost gauge and now these are gone

[Streichholzschächtelchen]

Plz make more? I need a vacuum to 20psi gauge lol

[ThomsenE30V8]

Is there som progress with some new?
I need at kit for my supercharged M60B40

[othatseric]

+1 could really use one of those oil temp gauges

[redsubdivisions]

I think it's safe to say this was a limited product. I've got one in my turbo M20 and it's held up well to this day. Is there anyone that can reverse engineer an existing one?

[LowR3V'in]

i'm in for the oil temp boost is for passengers.

[Ahrex]

Sorry to bump this, but they still exist.
I'm pretty interested in one.
