I've had this gauge sitting on my desk for weeks now and figured I might as well post it as the issue comes up frequently. It's a precision Voltage gauge used on boats. The percent charge info is good and will reflect battery health. To determine true "resting" voltage, unhook you neg terminal from a fully charged battery, let set overnight, and test in the morning with a digital gauge. Temps should be in the 60-80 degree range for this to be an accurate assessment. Use the Wet cell scale (Optima's aren't true Gel cells BTW). Cooler temps=lower voltages. Audi's voltage spec is >12.5V. I'll post this in the FAQ..

Thanks Steve. More good info from the mod god... BTW, drop me an email, I want a hat!

YGM!

Optimas aren't gel cell at all. They're spiral wound AGM batteries

Great place to get to the San Juans and Canada from without spending days to get there.

Just what I need. Thanks!

or did the boa distract ya? ;-P

possible?

I get barraged and I forgot.
I honestly don't think a TTDA wil fit. Even shortened. They are 8" across. I don't think they would flow very good with a side entrance either, which would be a whole nother engineering exercise to figure out...You need some plenum size.

and I hear ya on the side bit but that's kind of what we have now. Right now there is a filer and it's surrounded by a shield. This sheild cover the bottom and front and has holes (large ones) drilled in the back (facing the wheel well)

I still say we should give it a shot - if anyone can the "ModShack" can
