The gauge should come with a fitting kit. But could be worth getting the anti-buzz T-piece aswell.

Just remembered i have another boost gauge that goes to 30PSI with a fitting kit. Can sell it for £40

Not sure about the Diesel one, maybe Awesome GTI would be a good place to look?

Looks like a good bet. Will ask a few friends and meeting someone with VAG Com soon. Hopefully be able to help, never done anything with the turbo before

I have the Newsouth gauge fitted. Its display graphic perfectly matches the OEM Mk5 GTI speedo and rev counter. Measurement in psi gives more accurate increments than bar.

I started off with it in the side vent but found it wasn't so easily visible when driving. Obviously it is visible but so much more so on the steering console. Here's more info and pics for you:

The 'Rolls-Royce' of gauges are those by Defi but they cost a lot more.

Hope this helps  :happy2:
