dont waste your time with the turbo timer its a huge pain in the ass on those cars and you dont need it because the car takes care of the cooling process for you. go to [www.vwvortex.com](http://www.vwvortex.com) and there som DIY with pictures that will assist you with pictures on the boost guage install

theres a line comin off your fpr put a “t” in it then run the line for the boost gauge (assuming its mechanical) through your firewall, it will come out behind all that plastic under your steering wheel, easy as pie. I actually know how to do this so if ya want me to help ya pm me.

cant put a ramp in my 2 bedroom apartment, sorry. but a good gauge, like a New South Performance one with pod, it matches the stock, or buy the basic VDO boost gauge for like 30bucks and get a 42dd color match LED and a column pod.

think i should just sell mine or something? thing is, i never hear my car running anything after i shut it off. my friend’s acura sounded like an electric motor ran the coolant around in it for a bit, mine is just off. i let it idle for a bit, but still.

VW/Audi are well aware that there are idiots in the world that do not bother to take proper steps to keep their turbo(s) nice and happy and safe. Trust me dude. You are fine.
