What scale do you need?
The Defi gauges are very nice. The face is blank until the gauge is turned on.
I've got a pilar pod in mine. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.

Here's a picture I found.

Cool where abouts did you find this? I want it to be diplayed up the right hand side pillar. Please let me know.

A friend of mine has Defi gauges and I thought they looked good.
I’m not sure where is the best place to get them. I did a quick search and found this place:
http://www.srbpower.com/defi/
Click on Defi-Link Meter BF and Defi-Link Control Unit II
They explain what the gauges do and what you need to use them.
I’m sure if you look yourself you’ll find some more suppliers.

I used a Revotech single gauge pillar pod to trimmed to fit, to mount my boost gauge on the A-pillar.

Sorry, but this the only image I could get at the moment, but I’m sure others here must have something similar.

How much boost is running there?

 

[tommo-turbo]

Looks like 1.5 bar. Could that be right? Not au fait with boost pressures on cars...

Rich

 

[Randomjim]

Thats a good amount of boost

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Ah yes. It's just off peak boost. 1.4 bar I think.

How is it going jnoshad? I'm still saving for my Defi gauges.

 

[Randomjim]

Do they do the defi gauges in 52mm?

 

[Secret Squirrel]

I'm pretty sure they do.

 

[Randomjim]

Just had a look on the awesome gti website and i can see why your saving up. Not cheap are they!?

 

[jnoshad]

Full cost of having this gauge is:

gauge £140
Unit 2 box for gauge £60
Pillar mount in leather £25

It has cost me £225 so far not bad will lokk quality though. Wwill post pics at a later date.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

It will be easy to add more gauges too. They just daisy chain together IIRC.
Has anyone here got a gauge mounted in the side air vent? I've seen a couple of Golf IVs with this.

Secret Squirrel: Where did you get the Revotech single gauge pillar pod? And how much was it?
Thinking i need a boost gauge in my life at the moment

 

[Secret Squirrel]

I got it from Demon Tweeks [spit] before I had enough of them.
IIRC it was ~15. I got the leather grain effect pillar mount.
It requires a little trimming to fit the A-pillar trim, and takes a 52mm gauge, although it can be modified to take a 60mm gauge.

It looks like I spelt the name wrong in my earlier post, it should be Revotec.
Here's a link.

Cheers, I take it you didn't think much of Demon tweeks customer service?

I didn't really want a pillar mount, but I wanted a boost guage. The one that comes as part of the Apexi AVC-R is pretty cool.

Errr... No.
10 years ago they would bend over backwards to help, and were very reliable.
Now I think they're only really interested in selling stick on parts for the likes of Saxos.

I didn't either really, but I couldn't stand not having a boost gauge, so needed a quick fix.
Personally I don't like digital boost gauges. I much prefer to be able to glance at a needle.
