get the pod from awe tuning( www.awe-tuning.com ). it goes in any of the vents and the vent still remains somewhat functional unlike the apr pod. The VDO guages they have at awe are good too. they have a nice red glow which matches the dash well as well as a matte black bezel that makes the guage look like it was there right from the factory. I forget the price but its right there on the site. good luck.

Default turbo gauge info

benefits: helps you monitor the health of your turbo/engine. It's a good indicator if something is wrong in extreme or minor situations. It's also bling

Gauges typically run between 40-200 bucks for mechanical and electronic dial style gauges and more for LCD style displays. Mechanical is the cheapest and electronic usually has the ability to store peak boost and warn when a certain boost level is reached.

most tuners carry them
