I'm toying with the idea of installing a boost gauge in my car... I feel naked without it. I find boost to be immensely valuable [if not mandatory] driver feedback. I hope that BMW starts putting boost gauges in their new cars now that they rely so heavily on turbochargers... perhaps starting with the new M3.
Anyways, I'm fairly impressed by how clean the design seems to be.
It also seems that no wiring is required if you use the OBD-II CANBUS model... the gauge draws power and data from the OBD-II connector under the dash.

Anybody have any experience?

I love the idea of a noninvasive installation. No running hoses, no wiring, no bastardizing any parts, no cutting. Just pop out the original vent, pop in the new vent and plug in the OBD-II connector. It's pricey [$409 for the OBD-II version plus $50 to have it preinstalled in an OEM vent] but a clean install and no damage to the car is priceless to me.
