Default Vagcom

I am interested in buying a VAGCOM. There seems to be a ton of info out there and via the search function as well. But I can't seem to put together a go-to solution.

Can someone suggest a reasonable priced turnkey solution and a supplier name?

Cincy - thanks! Looks like hte entire package is $229, I can live with that. Will it measure boost? Do I still need to instal a mechanical boost gauge?

It will measure psi in mBar up to 22psi. Its not something you can rely on as a daily solution. A mech boost gauge should be a thing every turbo/supercharge car should have. They are $30-60

Cincy - Thank you, I am convinced (finally) to put a mechanical boost gauge in. I would like to go with an inexpensive option. Is there a gauge and bracket combo available, including installation procedure? Something under $100?
