I do think however that DEFI makes a PSI gauge... but I am not sure... let's find out

Imago-Eak! I'm glad you mentioned that. They are infact in PSI, I have the wrong photos on the initial Offer. I'm working on finding the correct ones. They ARE in PSI and the DO say BOOST (unless of course someone wants the turbo version, we can do that too). silly me

scampering off to fix it

Bahama-hey if it works it works

In light of that, this is actually quite an unusual discount. Defi gauges are not usually discounted much...especially from quallified dealers. If there are any other gauges you would prefer with this package deal please let me know as I have a good reputation with other vendors and should be able to help you out
NO DIS intended, the Defi gauges are beautiful and A+ quality, clearly this is top of the line route. I chose to go another route (i.e. budget enthusiast) by adding a VDO boost gauge, autometer cup and mymini bracket.

BAhama-Thanks for sharing, it's always cool to see what others do.


The picture is fixed in the initial offer with the correct gauges in PSI...you happy now Mr.Imago Smartypants? (giggles)

Don't forget if anyone would like different gauges I can arrange something. There will be an offer soon with the BRG's

OK, I guess I GOTTA see these things in action.

Personally, I think I'd go blue with the gauges if/when they do an '06 version compatible with the cabrio:



And hey, I was just asking abuot the gauge metering... I've never had a turbo-equipped car, so I don't know HOW the heck one measures pressure in one of those systems...

Do the BRG's utlilize the Defi link box as well, or are they "stand alone"? I'm definitely interested in the BRG pkg with boost and oil pressure.

StoopidGirl,

Please use the photos for what ever you need. The gauges are actually the regular Defi-Link gauges in black face with optional position bezels.

Good Luck with your sale !
