Show us your boost gauges !!

[tdiquattro]

Its that how you have the gauge lights powered tdiquattro? Is it really that simple as tapping onto the feed there?

yep, just tap into the positive feed to the light behind the vent wheel (on a facelift) works a treat, my omori matches the dash brightness exactly, and adjusts with the dash.

The best way in is through the ecu waterproof housing, there is a rubber unused way in below the main ecu to engine cable entry, cut and then re-seal with silicone.

Adam any sign of it from the states as yet?

Recieved my AWE boost gauge today. I'm going to fit it later this week . Anyone that has already fitted one or similar, do you follow the AWE instructions like for like, or have you done anything different thats easier?

thanks

[AdamS4]

Yeah, recieved it about 3/4 days after ordering it.

All fitted, will post some piccys tomo

[dr_wimpkins]

power the light from the feed to the vent roller back light to get it to be dimmed like stock.

Ive powered mine that way, but its not the same brightness, though it does dim with the controls.

I followed the AWE instructions without issue.

One thing which I did change was to add some extra wiring onto what was provided so that I could route the power cables alongside the existing looms, ie: along the top of the carpet under the dash.

Without adding extra wiring, you just had to have the power cables hanging across the front of the pedals (although they would be tucked up inside the lower dash panel when replaced).

I never managed to do anything with the illumination on mine (electrical), although I believe the mechanical gauge from AWE isn't as bright.

Cheers guys, so it sounds easier to connect it to the vent light, where do you connect the black wire if you do it this way, as it is only the white wire that makes it light up, is that right? Another thing i have noticed is the needle doesn't sit exact on the zero, it is just on top of the line below, is this normal?

This is what i received when i got my gauge yesterday, is there anything else i need to get before fitting? I know i need a 12mm grommet, i hope thats it though. I've put a pic of where the needle is at aswell.

Cheers.

I have the same gauge and my needle is in the very same position.

Oh dear. That is pretty horrific TBH.
Why not just go the whole rice tuner special and stick a plastic pod down the side of the window or a bit of double sided tape to the top of the dash. Cheaper and looks just as crap.

Made this, just to be a bit different. Swoosh 60mm boost gauge. Waiting for some black headlining to cover it, make it a bit more OEM.
