You can get them as a heads up display too you know. You won't see it on the dash, but projected up before you on the windscreen. Not cheap though! :surprised:

I have a New South one mounted in an OSIR vent pod, works great lights up the same as the dashboard, happy all round

Yep, the NewSouth looks totally oem and I've got one but I'm attracted by the functionality of Defi's top model.

in the RH draw under the light switch?
or even get a digital one ? (not as good imho)

Ive seen one in the airbag passengers light just nr the central vents....

or get the kufatec thing (assuming it displays boost now , and you have MFD ) ?


I'm sorry John_o i have the kufatec for just that reason, right in front of you and as oem as can be, but unfortunatly of all the vw that the  kufatecsolution fits in our 2,0 TFSI can't show boost from the canbus, sucks  :sad1:

Over the top mod list ;o)

Do you reckon the latest revision of canbus may support boost pressure?  I think it's on revision S now?  Anyone know either bits?

The latest version of the canbus for my 06 gti is the Q revision, but no, you cannot get boost via canbus on our engine, when you buy the kufatec cable it clearly states so in the documentation.  :sad1:
