Default Boost gauge

Anyone know where I can get a boost gauge for my 2000 2.7T? I want one that preferably looks stock and doesn't really stick out. TIA

Default Well doesn't stick out is a problem. I have a VDO that matches the stock gauges (text) and the(edit)

lighting for the center console (red). I tried without any filter on the light, but it is too yellow to match our dash. If one were so inclined (I may be in the future) you could wire up a white LED.

It is mounted on the far left side of the dash behind the ridge in the molding and next to the pillar. I like the way ti looks, but it certainly doesn't look integrated. The upside is it only cost about $80 for everything. A few places have it, but I got mine from egauges.com:

You will need:

240-101 mounting cup
150-121 gauge
150-851 tubing kit

A t-adaptor (5/32x5/32x5/32") from pep boys and some extra vacuum tubing (3 or 4mm). I will have pics and more details sometime soon.

If you want a truly integrated solution, the only thing available right now is the FIS:

Default I forget. Does the stratmosphere S4 gauge work with the 2.7T?

Default Yeah I totally forgot about that - my bad. But IMO, you get more with the FIS.

Not to mention that some guy name shockwave sells a similar kit on Ebay for far less.

Default So where can I buy the FIS kit and how much?

I clicked on the link from one of the last posts but everything was in German and I couldn't figure out how much or where to order.

Default Maybe email Andreas (link under contact)? There is an English version (British flag),

but it doesn't seem to extend to the pricing section. Looks like pricing varies from $250 Euros and up.
