Post by: TommyR on October 19, 2014, 10:53:53 am: If my current headlight switch looks like the one below…

Am I correct in thinking the one in the link will work in my car and give the same functionality?

Looks like a Boost Gauge to me. Quite a swanky one though.

Think it's a P3 Boost gauge by the look of it. Get them from Michael at Kleenfreaks

May well do in time but just the headlight one for now.

It should be plug and play. While you're at it don't forget the fuel door switch: http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=43_39_62&product_id=107. :wink:

Hi,

Where did you get the gauge from in your picture? Did you modify the vent to suit or did it come as a complete pod?

Post by: tfsi_syncro on October 28, 2014, 04:10:55 pm: @TommyR (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7747)... Do you find it useful/easy to veiw? Any pro's/cons?. I have seen the ones that fit to the top of a steeing column (with new top cover), just wondering if that would be a better option?

Post by: TommyR on October 28, 2014, 05:44:53 pm: @tfsi_syncro (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3212) It’s easy to view due to its positioning in my opinion. As for pros & cons it is the first "gauge" I have owned so I haven't really got anything to base a comparison on. What I will say though, is it’s far more than just a boost gauge... Only you can decide what's best for you though :happy2:
