Think this has been covered mate.

Not possible as theres specific coding in the 1.4 TSI 170 engine ECU that send the signal that clocks pick up on.

Boost part looks cool yeah but the clock face itself looks crap!

A boost gauge with standard highline clocks is the nicest look!

Does that boost gauge actually tell you any readings or just a little red mark of boost or a large red mark of boost? I can't see any measurements on it

This is the first time I've ever seen boost on a clock and didn't know you could get boost dial on them either.

Seller did say it needs programming with soft ware although there are no digits to read boost pressure itself.

It'll look cool but not very useful if it's just a gauge that moves when your on boost. If you don't want a pod on the dash somewhere the Polar Fis unit is an excellent product. Can have all sorts of information displaying through the MFD as well as boost readout. Mine has been really useful  :happy2:

You do have a valid point MateyGuv maybe I'll pass on that one and wait instead of forking out around 200 just to go there and have it fitted. You've just saved me from making a purchase I'd probably regret.  :drinking:
