When activated, the fuel gauge acted as a boost gauge, with 1/2 tank being 10 pounds. The temp gauge could also be changed to a mixture gauge with the 1/2 point on the gauge being stoich.

Is it possible for these options to be applied on our FRS and BRZ cars?

Seems that if so, it could save a few bucks on an already expensive venture.

Both these options on my 135i were super easy to read and very accurate.
i know ECUtek and @Visconti experimented with repurposing some of the OEM gauges in the past but it caused some other bugs if i recall. I'd LOVE the OEM analog speedometer to be repurposed into a boost or oil temp gauge. Or better yet if they could find a way to make it function as a display for a wideband o2 that would be huge. I'm sure i'm dreaming on that one though.
