Default Boost gauge in S4 cluster

Has anyone seen one of these in action before. it seems like a really good idea and i was thinking about getting one but wanted some feedback before i spent a bunch of money. thanks

different than the one i linked to? Also its electric and reads from the ecu is that going to be more accurate or less than a regular vaccum gauge.

A boost gauge is always a good idea in an S4. The stratmosphere boost guage is pretty cool, however I would find a less expensive option and spend the savings else where on the car.

Here is a link to some options: http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...%20Album/?sc=1

I just installed a Isspro gauge, cut it into one of the climate control vents and wired/plumped it up from parts found at a local parts store....total cost was probably less than $65-$70. Looks very similar to an AWE one.

Wow, there alot of options out there i guess. I think im going to keep looking than, i kinda liked how the stratmosphere was integrated with the system. Most of those werent to bad so maybe ill see what i can get for cheap. thanks guys

Never seen the one you are looking at, but I'm using an Autometer Carbon-fiber face gauge and it works and looks awesome for a lot less money.

I was also interested in the OCT gauge, it's really cool, and integrates into the car really well.

Other then that one, the AWE gauge seams to be the best as far as fitment & integration.
