Itīs "homemade" and this is how he did it http://members.cox.net/shokwave/audis4boostgauge.htm

But you can buy a kit here (http://www.stratmosphere.com/oct_s4_boostgauge1.htm) that looks even better.

Erik B: Do you know where I can find those gauges that shows in that first picture? The Apexi, if that is the name of it.

Nope, but the logo on the handset says http://www.ace-competition.com so talk with them for further help.

I wish I could know everything about all the pictures on the Internet - I'd be a pretty smart guy ;)

Those gauges are the Apex'i EL2 series. They're imported from Japan, but readily available. Email me if you're interested.
Boost gauge is available in mech or elec.
EGT is electrical only.
The system is slightly expensive, but not completely outrageous.

Thanks for the info. I am interested in them but I am waiting until the summer to buy them I think, because I am going to do a tuning and I thought that Iīll do all the work at the same time. Hate to order one bit at the time!
Which one is to prefer? The mech or elec.?
What is the "just about price" of those things if they are a bit expensive? Well thanks for info again, apriciate it!!

The mechanical gauge hooks directly up via tubing to a boost line like your FPR. That Boost gauge runs around $120
The Electrical gauges from Apex'i use a master controller. The controller connects the physical gauge to the EGT sensor.
You'll be looking close to $250-300 for the controller, sensor and EGT gauge.

All right, well in my opinion $120 or $250 - 300 is not expensive at all. I mean for those oneīs I would be preperd to pay a lot more :D But I think that it will be the $120 kind anyway :) I belivie(spelling?) that the mechanical maybe is more trust worthy.

(I know, Im worthless at english.)
