Default New boost gauge installed with Schwing ring

<center><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~adam.briner/boost.JPG"></center><p>I had an AutoMeter mounted here before, with the Modshack vent ring, and it didn't match well at all. Then, I noticed the Revo Technica REV2 boost gauge. What caught my eye was the kinda matte of the background and the number font. It almost matched the TT exactly! Plus, it's LED backlight, and I think I picked it up for something like $35.

Above are a couple TERRIBLE pics, and you can't get the true comparison of the dash and boost gauge, and the LED is a little brighter than the dash, but it really does almost look stock:<ul><li><a href="http://www.revotechnica.com/meter.htm">Revo techinca gauges</a></li></ul>

Default Seems good. I've been seeing a pretty accurate boost reading.

Not sure where in the vacuum reading should be on idle and normal driving, but boost seems accurate so far.
