Default Are boost gauges on A pillar legal in CA?

When I bought the gauges, I noticed a note that said this product is not legal for use in California. I saw many cars has gauges. Could a cop pulls me over for having gauges? Thanks,

Chanh,

He can pull you over for anything...
what kind of gadge is it? Tell him that these gadges are used for off road purposes only ie: laguna Seca.

Shouldn't give you a problem.

Back-cracker

I got Auto Meter electronic Boost and Air/Fuel gauges. The pod I got from ScienceofSpeed. For some reason the boost gauge did not show correct boost for Comptech supercharged which is around 6psi. It shows around 15psi!!!

I doubt a cop will pull you over for just an a-pillar pod, so I wouldn't worry about it.

For the boost gauge, where did you install the vacuum line?

The electronic boost gauge's vacuum line goes to a device that convert boost into signal. Only wires go to the gauges, no vacuum line.
