Default Boost Gauges

I'm looking to get a boost gauge.

I've looked at the AWE and APR gauges. What others are out there (that have a nice little custom mount for the b5's.)

look into the stewart warner gauges. i just bought one and i love the look. it has a silver ring around it but you can get it in black. i'll end up painting mine but cant beat it. lights up great and matches pre 00 dashes great

Most are center vent gauges, some leave the fins and some remove them with a solid plastic surrounding, google center vent boost gauge audi. AWE tuning used to make an A-Pillar pod but they stopped selling it because no one but them. You can find A-Pillar generic pods though, but if u didnt paint them they would look bad.

I also did see one on google that mounted to the roof next to the sunroof switch, i cant remeber if that was for a VW or an Audi.

i just bought the New South column pod.. 35 bucks and mounts right in the middle of the column, only blocks my temp reading, clock, tach and speedo are all visable.

Pic is not my car, but my pod. i was seeing if i liked the view before purchasing it.

Yeah i shoulda done that, 250 is steep for a chunk of plastic, you can buy just the gauge for really cheap.

Thats a dirty instrument cluster, how could you stand that.
