Also, would just a hard drive work? Like, maybe the hard drive that's already in the 09's?

You don't have to tap into the vacuum hoses to get the boost levels like a normal boost gauge do you?

I'm sure that as soon as your 100% done with this product, you will have a ton of people from this site and e90post ordering this from you, as long as it doesn't cost an arm and leg of course.

Hats off to you my friend! Good work! Now let's see a working product.

Our controller that reads your sensors is not very expensive. Assuming the customer has a laptop/carputer the only other thing you will need is the rgb converter. I dont know what the vga to rgb converter quality will be like. this is the biggest unknown that I have.

With our smart controller instead of taping the vacuum hose you simply will connect your map sensor to it. It has a voltage range, you set the boost based on the range and the gauge will display boost accurately..

A hard drive will not work. You need windows operating system (32 bit and higher).
