Title: I've come across this chap who makes custom boost gauges...

and basically makes them out of LED screens. He can basically match any style/design or font you want (tho he has some styles listed on his website).

I heard of him from a build thread on Edition 38. Mk4 R32 Turbo owner has had an LED screen fitted where his clock used to be. Looks absolutely amazing - so OEM!

i was gonna get one fitted where the clock is on my 8P, but apparently the 8P clocks don't like being tampered with. like this one:

maybe someone else can find something they like? he seems to be able to make whatever style/design/colour/shape you want.

googling around it looks like he's developed a VERY smart solution for the Mk5/Mk6 too. ignore the fact that the mounting is crappy:

i think i'm gonna ask him to custom make me a couple with fonts matching the A3 to mount in my vents

Saw this on the same thread, Do look good but dont offer the same options as the Race Diagnostics Liquid 2 gauge and it uses all external sensors rather than tapping into the Can-Bus im led to believe,

So im sticking with my Liquid 2 until a better option comes up.
