So I posted this in another section with no help. I have not been able to find anyone that has installed a boost gauge in the B8. Looking under the hood there are a ton of vac line tubes, I want to make sure I hook the gauge up properly so any help will be appreciated.

I recently got a B8 A4, I want to install a vent boost gauge but I can't seem to find one for this car yet. Does anyone know where I can find one? I might just get a gauge and cut the vent. Also, I am new to Audi and have not worked on a turbo for years, where is the best place to tap into for the gauge for the boost reading? Pics or a good description of what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Everything I have found has been on the older version and the engine bay doesn't look the same.

 

A.W.E. tuning came out with boost vacuum tap, its selling for 39.95$ easy to install. I suggest you to get the diverter valve as well, for 99$ you wont have that turbo lag especially from first to second gear.

 

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I checked that website but they don't show much for the B8, I think I will call them now. My plans are to get the APR chip, intake and the DV. I want to get the boost gauge installed so I know where I am and how much each change makes. Thanks again.

 

Talked to AWE today, the vent boost gauge should be avail. in like 2 weeks. So now I might sell the boost gauge I just got and buy the vent gauge. I did some research on the tube for the boost gauge, peopel are having issues with it falling off or something. I want to do some more research on it before I buy it. What ever happened to the good old days where you could buy a T fitting and just T it in? man.

 

I have mine since July and no problems with it falling off, i used some tube clams and few tie wraps. AWE is a great company, they give you a great service, good product, fast shipping, but when they say 2 weeks you should expect 2-3 months lol i m speaking from experience..... I waited 3 months for my exhaust, the good thing about them is that they don't charge your credit card when you place your order only when they ship it, not like some other companies they charge you for a product they don't have, make you wait 30 days without any news and after that you have to run around to get your money back (osir design).......

 

Well that is good to know. Maybe I will just install the gauge I have without drilling holes and get the vent gauge when they have it. How do you like the exhaust? is it loud?

 

I got the Quad exhaust, it looks very aggressive and sound just perfect, you hear it on the take off and u hardly hear it on the highway for those long drives. I ll post some pics soon.
