anybody fitted a boost gauge to their octy II yet? Really fancy one. Is it possible to do this, and where would be best to mount it to keep it OE style. Also who would be able to fit it, any garage? Im not too good when it comes to any thing electrical/wiring. Sorry for all the questions... Finally, if its possible to fit one, which is the best make? Thanks in advance. Regards, Damian.

I think you might find something on here Max Power Forum

Damo they are easy enough to fit as i did all my own gauges.

Once you have all the places to wire them from.

Can you not fit them below the head unit like the MK1? I cant remember what the dash on a mk2 looks like now

This may fit ok, NewSouth Performance

New South might fit, but the finish is sh!te and the dials will be blue but it is possible to change the LEDs. Someone on here has fitted a spitfire gauge.

Thanks for the replies fellas

There are so many gauges available, I dont know which are any good, or to have 1,2 or 3, and what they show. Turbo is a must, then oil and water?

Matt, next meet I will bend your ear and have a better look at your gauges.

If they are as easy to fit as you say, when are you free?

yea i thought as much

if its the same wiring as the MK1 ill gladly give you a hand mate

the main problem is the mounting, not what gauges.

Hence why the new south one may be handy?

Thanks for that. The one that clicks over the centre vents are probably the best.

They dont look to bad at all, but I cant find anywhere that will ship to UK.

One place wanted to charge $60 for the pod and $85 for shipping :eek:

QMR motorsports in Canada sell them, so might have to get my brother to get one as he lives in Montreal and post it me

What looks best do you reckon, angled or straight?

I am quite liking the straight facing

Does anybody know for certain if the centre vents are the same on the Octy and the Golf V? or is it a case of try and hope for the best?

Thanks

so because someone wants a boost gauge fitted to their car they are obviously a d1ck head in your eyes? try looking in a mirror mate.

if you don't like a thread, don't look. simple.

Thanks mate

I just find it better to ignore people like that...they are not worth bothering with

there are plenty of topics and threads on this site alone that don't interest me, so i simply don't look

but bitching about it is just stupid IMHO

totally agree with you its sad really when people lock you for wanting something that they dont like
