where do i mount my boost gauge?

[yellowbuster]

I need help finding a location for a boost gauge. do any of you guys have pics of boost gauges mounted in your audi's? if so can you please post them up. thanks

[01treyS4]

mines on the steering column...but what kind do you have and mount?

[gointoscott]

Most put their boost gauge in the center vent:

I was thinking about getting a digital auto meter boost and vac gauge, but i decided that i wanted to know where other people put their gauges B4 i bought mines.

Why not get a digital VEI boost and vac gauge instead?



Or even better... a dual display. In this case boost and AFR but you can have any combo you want.

message Naudi_Mat. this guy can give you an AC vent with a circle cut out of it just like the AWE ones. looks OEM unlike the center vent mount pictured above just let him know how big your gauge is in mm and he'll make it for you.

here's a link with some pictures and info:

I'm suposed to have your podi with dual boost+ a/f meter this week.
I bought them from your web site yesterday night. Can you PM me your install procedure please?

I made this for mine.

AWE Cent Vent Boost Gauge

I have the same exact gauge in the same exact location. Just a gripe, I hate how it reflects on the window by the sideview mirror.

[hodan]

Incorrect. Most put theirs in the left vent.

[IamEzraM]

center-left vent with the AWE boost guage

[FrimmelNoJerz]

gauges on airbag location= illogical

even if it isn't officially a projectile when you mount it there why in the world would you run the risk?

[AudiSportB5S4]

Derek, you have to tilt your head for your gauge to sit nicely lol. im going to mount my A/F gauge there as well i think when i get that sucka.... but yeah i have the AWE gauge in the center left vent, had it in the middle, and too many people including myself thought it was a clock. its just too far to look when you need to know what PSI you're hitting etc.



i have the NEW gauge from AWE as you can see, muchmuch better than the old one

thanks everyone for your help, but i think i will be trying something a little different.

i am going to put my boost gauge inside the cluster. has it been done before? if so, can someone show me how to do it? thanks.

[haus4]

the only boost gauge ive seen for the cluster is the OCT one. I actually have it. its nice and very stock looking, but it does not have vacuum and it is a little hard to read in very sunny and bright conditions. im looking for a gauge for the vent as well.

[WMi_S4]

STFA, someone posted some pics of their boost gauge in their cluster, and it looked like shit IMHO, just looked thrown in and glued to the corner, didn't match the rest, ect. I never understood why people went w/ AWE boost gauge, Winston's podi gauge is an ALMOST perfect match to our cluster, I just don't like the steering column mount.
If you are going the center vent route, I have a brand new center vent w/ a cut out for a 52mm gauge that you can have for 20 shipped.

Also, anyone have an a-pillar housing for my podi gauge??

[yellowbuster]

can you please find that post for me please?

A-pillars i think aid in getting you pulled over. I prefer being a 4 door sleeper. Although a heads-up-display would be pretty tight.

[csre9]

The fire extinguisher is a MUST when you have 2rpm gauges

[Das General]

More so because of my 2 nitrous buttons and my mysterious 3rd red flip button.

LOL.
a good friend of mine has that switch in his A4..
when its flipped down he runs 12lbs, and when flipped up 28lbs.

it is pretty cool I must admit, if it is placed in the right spot.

That shifter is sooo sweet.

[dennisS4]

Left or center vent, I had mine in the center in my last S, plan on the left side this time around.

[mholme]

Mine's in the center-center vent for now. I'm working on a custom SPP style a-pillar one but having a hard time matching the A4 headliner trim with dye and can't find anyone willing to just sell me the S4 headliner material

[2001S4NY]

why don't you cut up your cluster and mount it there, back from Florida yet?

[yellowbuster]

two weeka ago when me and Roderick were at your house, i failed to mention to you how many clusters it took to make it.
I had to cut up 1 s4 cluster and 2 a4 clusters before i was done.

you prob. thought that i only used 1 cluster.

[TweetsS4Estate]

Get an EFU it looks good and It is BAD ASS!!!

it only looks badass if your cluster works 100%. if it has dead pixels then it is bad, and looks like ass :-)

Or it can just look Bad depending on how many dead ones you have...

Thank you!! I'll be here all week.

Nice, who makes that? I would love to grab a boost/oil pres.

Thanks man, I found the site a little while earlier when searching for electronic gauges. I ordered the VEI red duel display boost/oil pres.

[Runnit]

Any idea how much these are? www.techreactions.com

I didn't see a price on their page.

Thanks

Thanks

With shipping it's going to be almost $500

Edit: I'll add that I love mine and consider it worth the extra expense for something that does not retract from the look of the car.
