Default Boost gauge opinion + question

Does VDO boost gauge match our interior ? Anyone has issues with the VDO gauge ?

Opinion (what do you guys prefer)

*A-Pillar gauge (optimal location but not so much of a sleeper anymore)
*Vent Gauge (keep it sleeper, not the best location)

Default I have a VDO boost gauge on the A-pillar....to me it matches perfect, only thing I'd do different is

using the A-pillars with gauge pods already built in covered with OEM cloth (like from SPP).

IMHO, the vent gauge is butt fugly....just my 2 cents

I have brand-new Omori 52mm gauge for sale, it matches the Audi interior exactly. E-mail me.

Default A boost gauge cant void any warranty can it?

Anything you can damage during install? what would those parts cost to replace?

Default I think technically it could. But you'd have to really screw up in a dumb way...

to cause serious damage from a boost gauge install. Most dealers I have spoken to like when boost gauges are installed because that a tool for them to help troubleshoot problems.

Default So no one has ever voided part of their warranty with it?

I have asked my service manager about it and he said he will check it out, but sounds like its fine.
