I got the vent pod from a company called SWG motorsport VW Accessories & Styling , Worldwide Mailorder

They sell them for the octavia's as well for any one who is interested

Thats really nice i like that :thumbup:

Hmm thinking................

I was watching one of these pods on ebay and it just sold for £44 !!!

It looks very neat and tidy :D but a tad pricey IMO

Bosst guage....kewl.

That's really well done. How long did it take you to install it?

I've had one for a few months now.

I've also got a swoosh gauge, how are you getting on with it?

Do you find it noisy - if its not what did you do to stop it rattling?

I wanted to retain the use of my vent, so went for a cheaper option and mounted it just below the heater controls.

ood job though

The guage looks wicked i got a no-buzz t-piece with mine which has stopped almost all the buzzing you can only hear it slightly with music off, you just have to plug one end of the t-peice to make it a bend as they dont do one in the form of a bend lol

only took about 1.5 hours ish the hardest part is finding some were to run the boost pipe into the car :)

looks pretty good.

I see no point in them tbh unless you've got a huge turbo and you want to check for over boosting. Which I very much doubt your VRS has or will do, but it does look good though :thumbup:, unlike your wallet lol

Its just a gadget rearly It didnt cost me hardly anything tbh and it would be no good if i had a big turbo as not many guages go high enough anyway :)

ok it dont ake long to fit easy rearly the only hard part is the tapping into the intercooler pipe to take the feed off :)

^ Even thats not hard, just ****s you up a bit lol.

Im going to run one from my allard valve when i get my mates Stage 2... :)

thats swoosh one looks ace but the vents price is a bit of a joke tbh

Pin 2 on the headlight switch is an ignition live.

any idea which pin to tap into to make the gauge light up when the lights are switched on ??

For the swoosh you need to tap into:

ignition live

live

earth

I've been looking into these for a while now. Correct me if I'm wrong but would a Defi Gauge not cure the rattling/noise problem as (I THINK) they take the pressure to t box and tranfer the signal to the gauge, making it an electronic gauge...?

Defi are a bit pricey but very good quality and look the buisness, a mate uses a handfull of them in his StarletGT.

Too expensive for me.
