I wanna see some pics of where people have put their boost gauge on their octys, ive seen the one on awesome gti that sits in the middle behind the steering wheel and i thought that looked quite neat, i want a 52mm gauge in bar with a green backlighting if possible, i might put it in the a pillar or on the dash next to it most likely,

ive just spent a whole load of cash on some VDO ones from autosystems as they look OEM

any pics

That AFR guage - does the needle sit in the 'Optimum' range whilst the car is running (hopefully optimum anyway ) or does it just check at start-up??

Thanks

I should get my gauges tomorrow so ill post up a picture as soon as i get them

Mines only a cheapo tim gauge so probably not very accurate and its fitted in the o/s air vent

I'm not convinced it's reading correctly TBH - it sits in optimum most of the time when idling but often veers from lean to rich - seems like kind of a randomometer!

Please, could you tell me which model are yours, hw much did they cost and how tough was to install them in the car and maybe an useful link... ?

Thank you !

One more question: which size are your gauges?

Hi, They're 52mm - I got them from an Ebay seller in Australia and they cost about 70 quid including postage.

Lots of stuff here about installation

Thank you very much !
