    Quick question sat here thinking. And was wondering has anyone on here fitted a boost gauge, if is it vacuum or electric! What fitting issues etc. It's just I'm loosing my ash tray and was thinking I should replace the cigarette lighter and thought a boost may fit there quite nicely.

    Most boost gauges are vacuum.
    Unless your running more boost (difficult on the Copens) or just want the bling there's no real need for one.

    Im turning my ashtray into a iPhone dock and looking at the cigarette lighter thought it would make a good location for a boost gauge, just trying to bling the interior up a bit.

    I wouldn't personally place your boost gauge there as it will distract you on the road. More eye high is reasonable to me as you can keep a look at the road all the time looking at your boost gauge.
