Looks similar to
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lufi-X1-scan-gauge-ultra-gauge-obd-2-digital-dash-display-fault-code-reader-/294484955772?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
Would be interested if you can get it to fit snug in the dash or centre console like you would a properly fitted boost guage. Not a fan of holding it up like an old fashioned Tom-Tom.

from the reviews ive seen its a step up from scan gauge, better display, more readouts, and reacts quicker, just curious what read outs it gives, like afr, psi, iat ect

Those generic gauges can only read standard OBD2 data, not VW/Audi specific PIDs......and I've found them to be a bit inaccurate compared to the readings you get from VCDS.
Best not to have a gauge because too much info increases paranoia and reduces attention span on the road.

I've only seen these on youtube - they look really small, like they are geared up for bikes with a really tiny display.
I suspect you would be better off with an android head unit running torque.

If you have the full height MFD a PolarFIS is the way to go. Otherwise a Lufi guage or just run Torque on your phone which is by far the most customisable and cheapest.

Lufi gauge is good for the money, I had one in my last car.
