And by the way everyone, it's GAUGE, not GUAGE, FYI

Do you have any more information on where to purchase a gauge like you pictured? Any installation guidance?

My list of gauges has GROWN , I now have , boost pressure , Exh. temp. , a/f ratio ( soon to be replaced with the FJO ratio meter ) , water temp. , fuel pressure , voltmeter , oil pressure , oil temp. , intake temp . , boost controller (Turbosmart e boost ) and soon euther the new Aquamist DDS or system 2e gauges.

FYI, VDO makes cylinder head gauges. Under 'Cockpit series' on their website. It might be available in other styles as well. Their website doesn't strike me as being complete.

My three guages would be
1. wind gauge ... to measure all the hot air comin out of peoples mouths
2. depth gauge ... to measure the crap people say
3. rain gauge ... to measure the tears your cryin, because you couldn't keep track of all your guages and blew your motor up.
Seriously one gauge i really want is a downforce gauge, so i can measure the amount of downforce my wing creates at 65 MPH

From http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...erometers.php:
MECHANICAL ACCELEROMETERS
("G" METERS)
This instrument registers "G" forces acting on the airframe during turbulence or aerobatic maneuvers. One pointer gives a continuous reading,the other 2 indicate maximum positive and negative loads. A reset **** is provided. In smooth, level flight the instrument indicates +1 "G".
Hmmmm.... Wonder if you can hook one of these up. Probably pointless but for those looking for that extra gauge..
