ORIGINAL: .clipse

you would need a "T" fittingother wise, from the FPR or the DV line or any other vacuum line.

i'd go through the DV bc i know of line rot from the FPR.


aaanywho, i'd go defi gauges. expensive, but boy are they baller .
Also make sure you have a T with a restrictor going to the Boost gauge, like metal/copper insert otherwise you will get some boost gauge flutter. I would run it via the FPR. Just make sure you are running good silicone hose and it wont rot.
I like the Defi gauges. Too bad the discontinued the Defi D gauges The blue racer is nice but doesn't match the interior one bit.

If you are looking to save a little money and still want the AWE gauge then order the kit for the A3. Same gauge, but doesn't come with the new vent assembly- you modify yours to fit the gauge. This gets you the AWE factory matched look for $80 cheaper.

That looks like a pretty nice gauge for under 35 bucks. Plus you can change to 7 different colors. http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/index...amp;ProdID=254
How did you secure it in the vent? Did you use a Modshack vent ring?

You can get it here for6 bucks less http://www.hallspeedshop.com/sportco...ge-p-2650.html

Or if you are looking for an inexpensive gauge this one is a Defi D gauge look alike the Revo2 https://www.matrixracing.com/p-13985...d-version.aspx

How do you like the gauge? Did you have trouble wiring the light connection since it didn't come with any wiring?
Does the lighting match the interior at night? Do yo have any pics you can post with the gauge installed
day and night pics?

Thank you!
