Boost and oil gauge in cluster

[Jonse]

Hi all

Ive just found this video on youtube where you are able to view your boost pressure and oil temp in the cluster.

Is this easy to do?

There was a guy that uploaded some RS3 software, problem was it also zero'd out a modules coding, just asking for trouble imho.

Me like
sign me up if this is possible.

Lol so looks like something to avoid. Is there no other way of doing it?

So it is possible to get needle sweep on a diesel, but at the cost of probably screwing up a module

Buy an RS3

Given its a firmware hack & the guy admitted it zero'd out his modules coding, then yes it could **** up things, hence why I wouldnt recommend it.

Can you explain what zero'd out modules means and what I'd have to do to rectify it? Where would I get the firmware from?

This company produce an alternative, but it looks like they don't support the A3/S3 8P

Thanks but I'd rather do the firmware hack if I can figure it out.

It means the coding is changed to all zero's in a module, iirc, it was the steering module, which is never good as you don't know what effect this would have on the system affected, personally I wouldn't touch this way with a barge pole, if it goes wrong then the implications could be very expensive.

I'm waiting for polar fis for 8p which is in development for a long time now...no eta yet. They just keep saying it's gonna be soon. Should have been out q4 of 2014.

anyone seen any more progress on this? looks like the polar fis+ is still "in development" for the 8P

In the middle of fitting a facelift (black/white display) clock into my pre (red display) S3, would love to see boost etc on it!

How about installing RS3 cluster?
