Title: New south column boost pod
Post by: Chris92 on November 28, 2014, 10:10:05 pm

Hi, does the new south steering column pod sit directly on top of the steering column trim or do you remove the standard plastic on top of the column and then place the new south on where the original plastic trim was?

I believe you replace the existing trim

Right it all wired up etc but when I start it up the needle goes to 20 in hg on idle and when I rev it it's goes to 0 regardless of revs. So is this ok? Just don't want to screw the car back together to find I've got a fault. I haven't drive the car yet as it's in bits I've just reved it on the drive way

Just got back from a drive, peaks at 12-13 then holds at 10psi, I'm sure I've read on here it should be 22psi? I'm totally stock minus the boost gauge. Does my figures sound right?

Sounds correct for a stock gti. See log below.
