Default is VDO that bad??

so i was looking on AWE's site for a boost gauge and mount, and why is the VDO boostgauge/stering mount kit $86, but the APR gauge kit is $139...im guessing VDO is crap then???

look at your gauges in front of the steering wheel....you'll see a big "VDO" on them.

i think it may only be on the early model A4s...probably a pre-99.5 thing. the new gauges are still made by vdo, they just don't have the stamp on the front like the older ones...iirc, the 'VDO' stamp is right in the middle, at the bottom of the display...but i might be wrong about that.
