Title: Boost gauge to fit OSIR vent pod
Post by: Deago on March 25, 2013, 09:05:54 pm

So as the title says I'm looking for a gauge the ideally fills the osir vent pod without using the adapter ring and also matches the dash colours. Maybe new south make one but I seem to be struggling to find a larger sized gauge. So a 60mm pod ideally, if anyone has one that's a good match to the vw instruments they can recommend they're my hero.

If you do order the OSIR vent pod you will be waiting a while. I ordered mine end of January and im still waiting as they have to specially order a RHD pod. Im going to use a newsouth gauge with mine as its a close match with the colour.

I already have the vent, been sat on my bedroom floor for months. Luckily they had 1 in stock when I ordered mine but still took forever to come from the states. Though they don't seem to have any stock for anything on their site, or is this just me.

Anyway, is it a 60mm or the 52?

Thanks for swift response!

Inonly ordered it as i didnt really like the one that goes behind the steering wheel and the other vent holder are straight on and not tilted at a angle.

Im pretty sure mine is 52mm but sat under my bed waiting for the vent holder lol.

Yeah I didn't like the ones on the wheel, and even though you loose the vent as opposed to the ones built to the vent the osir one looks a bit more classy IMO. Right ill get looking, cheers for the help.

If you want the best gauge then look for Defi.
