Possibly one of these plug in mdules that give all drifferent readings on the MFD

heard mixed things about them but that was a few years ago

almost certain it must have been HGP tuned they have the boost in multidisplay.
Not possible with the 2.0 TFSI, i have tried  :sad1:

With this:

But not boost on 2.0 TFSI  :stupid:

By using the buttons of the multifunctional steering wheel as well as the wiper stalk you will switch between:

    * RPM - Petrol capacity
    * Boost presure - Battery voltage

?

The kufatec unit will only show boost when fitted onto a diesel car  :happy2: There is a thread on here already about this somewhere IIRC.

I think certain of the Fiscon phone kits will also do this.

Carl (Mater) posted something about this a while ago.

Ive never seen this in practice. I bought one, had it fitted on my diesel for 18 months now and never seen the boost working!

Avoid the L-C-T thing. There was a class action lawsuit organised by vwvortex and GolfMkV against those guys because their doohickey was crap and didn't display actual boost, just requested boost. There was also apparently a signficant lag in update the MFD with that data.
