I'm surprised it's that high. My bet would have been 9 psig.

I thought I remembered that the M5 motor was supposed to boost at 1.5 bar, which I think would be about 21-22 psi?

Have you removed the charcoal filters? Just going on assumption as I don't know the intricacies of where the boost is sampled from...but I could imagine some resultant psi loss if the charcoal filters were still in.

For you guys that have them, how easy is it to install and remove? Also, how easy would it be to remove any logo on the face? I'm very much a no logo type.

I'm thinking I want one of these to have the information at times but wouldn't want it in the car all the time.

Can you take a photo of the OBD port? I may be looking to install this onto mine, but would not be happy if I saw a cable connected to the OBD/OBD door always open. Also if you bring the car to the dealer, and they need to hookup, can they easily unplug..? I heard it might be possible to have a stealth install of the P3 Gauge with the OBD door closed.

The gauge is permanently installed the vent so in order to remove it you'd have to swap
the vent. It's not a major issue and will take you maybe 10 minutes once you've
done it.
To remove the logo you'd have to check with P3 and/or Turner if they can sell you a display without the logo , you could try to remove it yourself but would likely damage/scratch the surface in the process
You can always turn it off so it doesn't display anything , then it would just be a dark space in your vent. Might be easier than removal/re-install multiple times.

the OBD port underneath the dashboard and the P3 plug sits flush in it , so there's really
no concern about anything visible/open on the M5 as the M5 doesn't have a "door" for the OBD port to begin with.
Look at the video around 1.16



The plug can easily be removed / unplugged.
Before you bring it to the dealer just unplug it and they'll be fine .
