    VMR. Great price, works well, looks good, but no instructions. You have to go by everyone else's. Another thing is that it's brighter than the rest of the interior lights, but that's not a big deal.

    I bought a VEI Systems boost gauge and cut out the vent and did it myself. Cheapest way

    Exactly what he said. I got the white dial and it's a little bit brighter than the rest of the guages, but not too bad. Install took me a while because I had never done anything like that before, but it really is quite simple. I would almost suggest going with the red back light since if you put the guage in the middle vents, it's over the center console which has all red lights on it. I think it flows a little bit better with the red.

    ECS is great! I have had it for a year and half and it matches perfectly, not too mention unlike the other vent gauges it is angled toward the driver so it easier to read at all times instead of just being flush in the vent.

    So your decision was based on the selling price?

    How is that going to work?

    And i've got a Podi. But that's not a vent gauge is it? lol that could possibly be why Winston is getting no love.

    Re: What kind of vent pod do you have?

    I had the AWE on my B5 S4, it matched perfectly and the install was not too bad. I assumed the B7 would be as good. The color is not quite as close, but the install was simple (as the others would be) and honestly AWE has given me great support for years.
