Check my picture post.. Took some pics of it.
not trying to knock no one business but I spent like. 29 for the gauge, 10 for tubing, had bondo laying around and found some fabric that looks close but not OEM for 5 bucks. And my time to make it. But I hear they have OEM fabric at SPP.
You can go either way..You installed a stage 3 in a day, you can build an a- pillar

Boostd .. I have a SPP and while VERY close the fabric is NOT an exact match. Also the top section
is thicker as they leave on the old and put new fabric over it. If you want an EXACT match to OEM you wouldn't be satisfied. That said, non Audiphiles don't notice it at all. I will take a few pictures tonight and email you.

Well, here's my latest version. Flush mounted VDO gauge.
The saga never ends....still isn't over. I will settle for nothing less than a perfect match, still hunting the right fabric (texture is the key in my case, my '97 sport headliner is fuzzy). So this Wal-Mart fabric matches pretty darn close, close enough that non-Audiphiles don't notice the difference. I do though; I am very close to finding the right fabric I think. This shall tide me over for now though. I can dig out some more pics later if need be.

Oh man.. I got the wastegate completely centered. I've driven it till night time..
But one thing.. I can't get the headlight back in.. Ugh.. since I reclocked it.. the big plastic pipe is in my way.. so I bought a heat gun and hopefully I can get it to fit that way. I'm doing that tommorrow morning.
I noticed my car achieves boost easily. But no limp mode. But I spiked 25 psi for half a second. Which in talking to apr was normal as long as I wasn't maintaining that high boost.
Why don't you smoke my clutch again and test her out I'm coming to memphis tommorrow or thurs for sure. Oh I'm shopping for a new clutch this week. I've put the awe-dts on hold for now.
