Finding the right boost gauge...
<center><img src="http://static.flickr.com/25/37733662_6e7276134f_b.jpg"></center><p>
I am making a center vent boost gauge for my avant, but I want to find one that fits the interior well. I dislike most of the gauges I have seen. I had a VDO vision black series gauge in my S/C'd A4, and that matched the red lettering/ red needle of that car, but the newer gauges the S4s have, with red lettering/ white needles wouldn't match as well. Any inexpensive (<$100) gauges that would have red lettering and a white needle?

I am pretty close to ordering that VDO one
egauges.com has a great price on it. I think that one is pretty close to what I had, just a different calibration. I've checked out your boost gauge album a couple times.
I am normally in Holland, but I am back at school now for the semester.... which is in Maine.

The needle isn't totally white at night, but it's closer then any other gauge I've seen yet. I can take some night pics if you want? <Flamming.....Now><ul><li><a href="http://www.egauges.com/vdo_ind.asp?Type=Turbo_Boost&Series=EVA&PN =R5613&Cart=1">http://www.egauges.com/vdo_ind.asp?Type=Turbo_Boost&Series=EVA&PN =R5613&Cart=1</a</li></ul>
