New Allroad Driver
Hi Folks, long time A4 driver here (1999 B5 Avant, then 2006 B7 Avant) and now the proud owner of a 2016 Allroad...loving it!
I like to play a little with my cars (nothing too outrageous though). I ran APR on the 2006 A4 for over 100,000K miles and loved it, am planning on the same thing with the Allroad (once she's broken in a little..). Anybody know of a decent boost gauge that's plug and play for these cars?
Cheers.

OK, looks like I can answer my own question....ECS does a gauge that looks nice...
https://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-All_R...ges/ES2992840/
May go for this one..but the OBD capable gauge sure is tempting....
Hmm, perhaps I'll do both...

Gauge Installed!
I went ahead and purchased ECS Tuning's boost gauge for my Allroad and installed it today with the help of a friend. The process was not as quick as I'd hoped and I'm glad that I bought a set of non-marring trim tools for the job (Amazon is your friend). My install differed very very slightly from the B8 A4 write up in the ECS guide in that the trim piece for the media screen wasn't completely removed..I ended up just prying the bottom up all across to give access to remove the vent cluster as instructed (the center clip above the steering wheel is a bit of a pain...). The other 'gotcha' is that when removing the center console trim around the automatic shifter, the drive indicator block is a separate unit that pops out too (the thing that shows P, R, D/S etc...). Other than that, all went well. Picture attached.
Cheers,
Nick
