Having never owned a turbo car without a boost guage Iam keen to install one. The link above shows a very neat install in the airvent has anyone done this on a C5? The vents look the same as ours so it should fit, right?
I will give them a call in the week.....

As far as I know the vents in the B5 are totally different from C5 vents.

Excuse my ignorance in boost guages, but how does measuring the vacuum tell you what boost pressure you are achieving?

I might be slightly diverting this thread, but I'd like a VAG.COM alike that could link to TV-in on the RNS.

Like the dashdaq here: http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... ic&t=72005 but output piped through into the existing head unit.

I found this: http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=3474 but not sure how much info you could get from the RS6 OBD port. It might end up cheaper buying a 12V PC and using that!

Looks fantastic. Does GPS navigation too. If there is a Tuner add-in then that could replace my RNS-D unit which I'm thinking of replacing shortly.
