Hi,
After seeing all the talk about boost gauges is there a definitive price floating around as yet? I would personally go for the DEFI gauges as they are absolutely superb (big fave of the scooby bunch).
The really cool thing is that they not only light up red (if I remember rightly) but also that you can have 'defi-link' and link them together, i.e. you don't need to run pipes and cables to each gauge, only to the controller... cool or what :-)

Sounds cool... if only they made a pod that would sit on the Ibiza dash nicely!

It would be nice to get a boost gauge as a HUD, i don’t like the dash mounted pods they all look like bolt on goodies.
Personal opinion of course! :fart:

its not cheap for the HUD / Turbo timer £180 +fitting
i have seen pictures of them on other VAG models

its a expensive little gadget :eek:
I got the autometer ultra light boost gauge,
It has an orange needle on a white background with black lettering and a red backlight so blends nicely in with my other instruments at night and is easily readable day or night
www.autometer.com then click on the three gauges at the top middle of the page, then click on the product cataloge,then click on air pressure gauges ultra light, and its 4303 that i ordered,
the upsolute dealer has these in stock at the moment with a full fitting kit including 6ft of piping and a t piece and all the other bits for £55 which i though was rather good value!!

Very nice gauge
What pod did u use to mount it in?
cheers
It is taped to the dash at the moment as i am torn between a dash pod mount, and an a pillar dual mount, and getting an egt gauge to compliment it, but the egt probe is a pain in the ass to fit!!
