    You have to install an antibuzz fitting that is provided with the kit and it works fine.

    Do they still make that device that shows the boost on the MFD? I think it was available for the B5 but i haven't seen it for anything newer than that.

    Re: boost gauge?

    I have mine on the middle left vent mainly because the DIY instructions I had were for that location. It really doesn't matter where you put it as it will look OEM+ in either vent. So, I would say to put it wherever your heart desires.

    Re: boost gauge?

    thats cool. what are yalls preferences. I was thinking about the digital gauge...but, the dial version is cool. i was leaning towards the dial instead of the digital just due to the fact that nothing else is digital on the car except for the lcd and the radio. anyone's 2cents?
