My Car: Mod #2 – APR Boost Tap + Boost Gauge

Initial Thoughts:

Purely aesthetics, this is a great looking gauge. It looks very OEM, completely integrated in the AC vent and the vent itself is perfectly molded and colored. It looks as if it came from VW directly. The blue needle color is close enough to my tach/speedometer and the gauge has a white backlight. Install took nearly 45 minutes since one of the connections included with the Boost Gauge was completely torn and had to be cut and re-seated in the connector. 

Accuracy, precision and response time of the needle is great. It’s not jerky but also not sluggish. As soon as the DSG clutch activates to change gears, pressure drops..let off the gas and pressure drops. It looks great, backlight isn’t too bright to distract other car gauges backlights and it just looks really great.
