Most seem to do 25 or 30psi but I don't plan on pushing this motor that hard. I like how this one has PSI and Bar too.

Podi makes a stepper gauge that goes to 30. I have it in my car if you want to check it out.

VDO is the bomb tho...

Per request here's an update :)

Got the gauges wired up with the dimmer lights working, dash back together, and the stereo re-wired so I can use my hands free (its the law!). Work has been getting in the way so thats about it. The car runs like crap til it gets warm and its still runs strange. Theres a bunch of power then none. Seems random. The boost gauge is saying I hit a max of 6psi while the Vag-Com is reading spikes of 18 and holding 15psi. Not sure what to think other than I need to verify the accuracy of my gauge. I did add resistors for the N249 and a couple others with no change. May have broken my tach adapter too :(

Nice Trev, gauges look good. No cell use in MT now eh? Thought it would take a while for them to catch up on that one, but hey at least you are legal!

Bummer things aren't going any better...I want to see videos of full boost and that big shit eating grin behind the wheel!

Seems like a lot of cities are banning handheld use including Bozeman. I'll get the car running well eventually. I have put a full tank of gas through it now. Went quick with my foot on the floor. I was smiling :)

Keep plugging away man. Hope you can get it running for the Euroshow. If it makes you feel any better, my car has been together for 3 weeks but we're still chasing down little issues like diverter valves, and overboost codes. It's frustrating to be so close, yet so far away. They'll run eventually. Remember your 3 P's: Persistance, Patience, and Pendleton. (I may or maynot have just made that up.)
