S4 Podi guage install walkthrough needed

**banger2392t1** · 01-12-2009 03:28 PM

After much research i havn't been able to find a walkthrough for a Podi boost guage install on a B5 S4. They have a install walkthrough for the 1.8t and the TDI but not the S4, so does anyone know where i can find a walkthrough for the S4 for the Podi boost guage??

boost gauge installs are pretty much all the same, those should help you out.

follow that for the most part...

the pod comes out easily, just use a small phillips head screwdrive to get the 2 screws from the bottom of the plastic trim on the steering wheel. Unlock the steering wheel position lock, and adjust it so you have more room to get at the pod.

For the electrical, just ground the black wire and put the red wire on the terminal in the pdf (75x i think?).

Good luck, I installed my podi a week ago, i like...

Found out my car isn't chipped... anyone selling a a-box chipped ecu???

Its the same install instructions.. I mean, you run the line just like AWE Tuning tells you to, off the fuel pressure regulator vacuum from the back of the intake manifold. Split that line put a T in, I found it easiest to get more vacuum hose than what comes in the package from Podi, and run that electrical boost sender down into the cabin. So split that hose from FPR to Intake mani, then send that vacuum line attached to the top of the T fitting down through the ECU chamber down below the dash. Take off the knee bolster its easier to do it with it off. Once its down there you'll need a wire crimper/stripper and some more 18-20 gauge wire so you can extend the wires so that everything isnt tight as can be. then just follow the instructions off of the site that i posted.
