Hi, <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">has anyoneheard ofa way of changing one of the computer readouts in the 2000 A4 dash to read boost digitaly instead of one of the factory presets, I would imagine someone with a bit of knowhow could convert it with the addition of a sensor and overcome the problem of locating an aftermarket gauge?? </P>

 

I doubt its a diy job, but there is a company that sells a kit that will let you use it to read almost any parameter you want I didnt keep the link though it was at least $300 if I remeber corectly look around on the web youll probly find it.

 

I saw a picture of boost being displayed on the trip computer, if thats what you mean. Can't remember where I saw it now. Personally, I'd rather an analog gauge tho.

Brrman how come you gotz a different cluster than me ...no digital?

 

Mine does not have a trip computer. I assume thats what yer talking about, slim? I kinda was disappointed I didn't have it when I bought the car, but now I don't mind since I can run VAG scope directly on front of me on the new LCD screen.<edited><editID>brrman</editID><editDate>38020.3911805556</editDate></edited>
