Just graduated, white, green, red when overboosting IIRC.  As you say some numerical gauge would have more use.  Otherwise its like the old economy gauge in Formel E models, just shows how uneconomical you are driving.

Yeah it is a bit silly really.
Is that the OSIR vent gauge? Or is that other brand whose name I can't remember? New South or something?

....Joe has the OSIR vent + Defi gauge. Looks less stock but is good having an angled display.

Mine is a Newsouth Indigo and exactly matches the stock VW displays. It's still totally visible though not angled.

How much was it to have fitted Robin???

....O crikey! I genuinely have forgotten. JKM fitted it for me and I've also forgotten if I had anything else done in the same session. Kate will give you a price.

Err....Are you starting to do mods?

Robin, as ive already said a few times before, i like to mod in the way things may look, but NOT in the way it was designed to perform on the

road side of things . Suttle things but not messing with the mechanicals im not keen on. Ill wait for my Warranty to expire before i consider

doing anything under the bonnet. :wink:

ive only modded a handful of things like cf paddles, vw bluetooth, stainless plates, DSG badge,cruise control, i think a boost gauge would be

good . Milltek cat back when i feel abit more flush  :smiley:

....You still get warm/cold air through the Newsouth vent.
