Diy boost gauge to replace clock
Ordered all the parts for a DIY project ill be heading up.
General idea. Psi and vac display with a bar graph underneath. LCD will be blue when map sensor reads vac, green during boost and red when the over boost parameter is met or exceeded.
Simple project but should be fun. Progress will most likely be slow due to lack of free time.
Basic parts list:
Arduino board
16x2 rgb serial lcd screen
Atmospheric pressure sensor so there isn't a need to manually calibrate once operational.
Map sensor

Different developer. This one gives oil/atf temp, voltage, boost w/graph, and a rally (100ths clock), along with an automatic I/C sprayer controller. Sorry it's not a 256 color display, but it's meant to blend in, not stand out.

As for an update, there isn't one. Just not-so-patiently waiting for the parts to get here.
