Default Just installed boost gauge and polished rings

Today I got my boost gauge installed and the polished gauge cluster rings to match, what do you guys think? Mods soon to come during this summer: Bilstein's & Neuspeed sport's, K04 + J31 file, ATP 3" test pipe,custom 3" downpipe to 2.5" exhaust, fmic + all custom piping, and a fully custom turbo inlet/intake system (will definitly have pics and possibly sell). I can't wait!!!

Only reason I'm going K04 is because I'm Tip, I have a buddy who is more than willing to give me a perfectly good T3/T4 turbo, but thats just too much for the Tip.

actually i think the j-31 might be too much for the tip. if i remember correctly tip can only handle ~300ft of torque, so you might need to beef up ur tranny

also the t3/t4 might not be tooo much worse for the tip than the j-31... i dunno how the t3/t4 compares to a 2871r elim, but theres a dude on az with tip running that turbo and doesnt seem to have a problem... probably bc it creates a smoother torque curve that isnt as abrupt of a spike as the ko4 with an aggressive file

Swap out that steering wheel for the sport one! You'll love it! +1 on the rings, though!

Funny you guys mention the Sport steering wheel, because I'm trying to get one with the tiptronic buttons from a friend of mine for next to nothing... its on the list!!!
