Steve's vent adaptors are out of stock until may, but a lot of people do this.

I'm looking into this trip computer boost gauge.

I would get AWE Tuning's center vent boost gauge. The needles match the stock gauges while keeping the vent fully functional. That or APRs vent boost gauge.

I just installed the 42 Draft Design boost gauge along with adapter ring and it looks pretty close to what a stock gauge would have looked like had Audi done one. At night it lights up a bit brighter than the dash lights but other than that its very clean.

I went with the REVO 2 boost gauge. It's pretty close in look to the TT Gauges and the price is right.

I just went to the local auto shop. It was fairly inexpensive since I just bought the gauge, some vac hose, and a T connector. As far as install I took out the vent, got out all the guts, got some plantinggreen styrofoam and cut it to fit in the vent holder, worked the gauge into it, connected everything, and put the ring back on. Just forlooks I cut part of the cardboard that came around the gauge and painted it red so you don't see styrofoam. Looks great to me.[/align]
