Did you have to run a line to your CP or does it read it from the OBD II?

Install: pretty straight foward. I would say you need to be mechanically inclined to install this. The hardest part was to get the vent that is given with the hole to fit into our vents. It kept popping out, I think due to being cheaply made.

Price: 180 for the entire kit that comes with everything you possibly need for this job.

Where: google ecs tuning, they sell all BMW stuff oem and aftermarket, ecs actually makes this guage for our car and boasts about the color match of stock interior lights.

Confusion: when giving some gas, and before the gauge goes above zero, and I let go of throttle , my bov still goes off. I can hear my car build boost but the gauge says it's not building actual boost pressure in the posative numbers. I Havnt given it gas to actually boost a lot though, only very light throttle as it's late here and my cars loud lol.

Install took about two hours. But any install that's new and done for the first time is always a learning experience and "learn as you go" kind of thing. I def think it can be done by a general user who isn't afraid of working on there own cars

I have the same guage. You tap into the diverter line with a T that is provided in the kit.

diverter line is the line that goes from diverter valve / bov to the engine nipple. correct me if I'm wrong?

Why not just get the PIII gauge?

It looks a lot more OEM.

Price is a little more than double and I personally don't like the digital look. It looks cheap imo.
