Which OEM look Boost Gauge?

[Colesy]

What boost gauges are there on the market that look OEM?

I'm looking to install a boost gauge and I'm struggling to find one that looks OEM. The best one I've found so far is this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=200329130998

It has a white dial for in the daytime and it will glow red at night, but I can't help but think it's still not quite perfect!

Can anyone recommend one?

Thanks!

Try this one, Its the one i have in my car. just mask off the face and spray the bezel satin black. The bezel isnt as big as it looks in the pics (strange i know, but trust me). Also it has a light grey face almost identical the s2 guages.

Looks nice, was it easy to source a red bulb to match it with the S2 dash?

[Rusty]

Mine's got a red cover over the bulb

[Matt_D]

Yep mine too, you can buy little orange 'johnnys' to fit over the bulb to change the colour

The VDO is the closest that you will find but it should really be in bar like the Telemetrix one, however that has a white bezel so not as OEM looking.

The best option is this one, but with the €-£ exchange rate it will cost over double the standard VDO one

I ran 5 group buys for them for about 40+ folks on here who will agree that they are the best OEM fit. There are several threads from these group buys and loads of installed pictures so have a search and if you want one then I will put you in contact with the vendor and get you the group discount.

P.S. Red 501 led bulbs are the best solution for the lighting

I'm using an Autometer gauge, similar to this but in metric. The orange/white is in keeping with the OE dials, and has a red back light.

why dont you buy it from the source...?

http://www.audis2fast.de/ then pick teile and 3d one from top!

he can sell and send it to you with fittings. Maybe a bit more expensive than the rest,but hey, IT MATCHES!!!

Used to have;



Which lit up like this using a 6 x red LED wedge bulb;



Then changed due to first being in old money (PSI), face being pure white as opposed to S2 light grey and the needle didn't illuminate.
The new one lights up like other gauges (numbers lit + needle) and is in bar with a light grey face.

Bought in a group buy organised by Si above, thanks again Si
