no Dennis, the air is being done by people who do air instals because i don't really want to deal with any of it and I want it to look stock-like. Theres plenty other of stuff that we can do tho, like tails and some other stuff

And it starts......just bought a boost gauge for the R.

[JLCVDUB]

Which one? Mounting solution?

[johnnyR32]

Podi Blue Needle. I have a Podi in my GTI and really like it. The pod replaces the stock upper steering column trim.

So I disappear for a bit and the whole GTI section ends up in disarray....

Where have you gone Johnny 32
Our forum turns its lonely eyes to you.
Woo Woo Woo

What's that you say Mrs. Robinson,
Johnny R has left and gone away.
Hey Hey Hey


Hey Hey Hey...



Now that I've serenaded you, pics or it didn't happen.

[johnnyR32]

Panda, I can't deal with you disappearing. The forum fell apart because you left. Pics when I get the part. Try to stick around this time.

I'm sorry!!! My office internet was down for a month and when it came back they sent me to a client. Mix in getting engaged about halfway through and you end up with me pulling a disappearing act. I started a new thread for my GTI in the forum to try to get the band back together!

Well I'm glad you're back buddy.

Nice find. Easily the cleanest and most OEM looking solution I've seen. I just may have to follow your lead on this one.

Just got an email saying it shipped so I'll post pics in a few days.

[Dutchmastr9]

damn you johnny, im sick of buying parts for this car that i dont even have yet now thats just another thing I have to buy if i want to compete with you

[JLCVDUB]

I guess the gauge is hand-made and a limited time only, and I also did decide to go with the second dual guage VEI digital with the LC-1 WB and oil pressure as well. Perfect gauge setup!

Yeah that's why I ordered.

[Time for a GTI]

Podi Blue Needle. I have a Podi in my GTI and really like it. The pod replaces the stock upper steering column trim.

I like that is replaces the existing trim a lot. I have the New South on my GTI which is really nice but the mount slides over the existing trim.....doesn't look as clean.

Yeah I think it's the best option. I have friends with the new south, awe and cim. I think I made a good choice.

I couldn't wait and went ahead and ordered it. I love you and hate you at the same time for showing this to me.

I'll wait until I can take pics which actually include my R. The release of the R from ports has chummed the water, and I'm not jumping in without pics.

Lol. Not criticizing your thread, which led me to an awesome mod. I'm just scared of posting a thread without pics of a US-spec R in it right now. Every thread I see is announcing R sightings and people are going nuts for pics.
