I guess anything is possible, but my question would be why? My car spends at least 99% of it's driving life on the queens highway and 1%, if that, on a track. In fact, I would say that I don't even look at the boost gauge whilst driving on the track, too busy doing other things, and if a turbo goes pop, I don't think you need a gauge to tell you.

No, just the one gauge required.

That's quite a nice install and something on my shopping list for the future. - A group buy perhaps?
I was trying to work out what was displaying the RS4 logo, presume it is your phone sitting in a cradle?

Will the needle still display in red, when you have changed the back-light, and do you know if the vent module is interchangable with all the centre vents or just the middle one?
I like where you have mounted the B2 as well - I must move mine in the R32 to a bracket like that.

Thanks Guy. The RS4 logo is on the display of the Parrot LS3200 Colour, which is a bluetooth phone kit. A bit like most mobiles, you can upload pretty well any image you like.

Yes, the needle will display red as it's a red needle. TBH, it doesn't look that out of place illuminating red as it matches a lot of the red bulbs in the switches, etc.

The AWE boost gauge comes mounted in it's own vent, and you can place it in any of the three centre vents. I liked it in the middle one so I can still use the one on the right to blow air.

The Origin is actually a B2 Solo, but I unclipped the small flip up aerial and plugged in one on a cable and mounted it on the dash just by the A pillar.
