Default boost gauge question

Do you have another way of seeing creep / spike?

I overlooked the part of the EBC showing boost.

Yes, if you know for a fact that it works reliably and will give you accurate boost data, I don't see anything wrong with removing a boost gauge. The only thing I can think of is if the boost gauge is mechanical, it will still work in case something in the electronics messes up your EBC.

Nah, I sold the FC. I drive an Insight now in order to save gas. I'm looking to get back into the game within a couple of years.

Toronto's nice, good food, I have a big network of friends here as well, so it's not too bad.

The only thing I hate are the $200 / month insurance rates.
