It would be pointless as that is probably the biggest piece of crap put on a car ever.

In all seriousness that gauge is so inacurate, you wouldnt want it telling you your boost, buy an aftermarket gauge

you woud need the tt boost solenoid and a tt wire harness for behind the dash...

You pobably didn't find a write-up because the stock boost guage isn't as accurate as an aftermarket guage... At least to my knowledge.

I understand that it isn't as acrute as a aftermarket but was thinkin just for stock boost levels it would serve the job.

No it's not that, it just doesn't measure true boost. It measures boost (falsely) by reading engine load. Just get an aftermarket gauge

With the amount of wiring that would need to be replaced, it really isn't worth it to use the stock gauge. As other's said, its not even a boost guage. Just get an aftermarket guage and use that. There's a reason why that is one of the first modifications the AWD people do.

and besides.. you can get a reasonably priced one for like $50 or so.

the stock gauge uses smoke and mirrors and math to get your pressures.
