ECS Tuning Vent Boost Gauge

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share my experience with ECS Tuning thus far.

I have really wanted a boost gauge, as I thought it should have been included from the factory. I wanted analog style, I wasn't really feeling the digital look at all, although that application does fit in the vent much cleaner. I was looking at the options offered by Turner and ECS, and I hopped onto the ECS website only to find the gauge kit at 40% off, with free shipping! It seems like it is exaclty what I was looking for, although I couldn't really find any reviews on this forum...

Ordered it yesterday afternoon, shipped out within a few hours, and is scheduled to be on my doorstep tomorrow. That is blazing fast, I am impressed by that. I'll post my impressions once I get it in hand.

That sound interesting! Post up pics when you get it installed. I just installed the P3 vent gauge a couple of days ago and like it. Didn't know there was a possible analog version available.

ECS Tuning is a fantastic company. They started their business by catering to VW/AUDI cars and then expanded on. They are well know for their quality brake lines and brake kits for VWs.

I also checked out their vent gauge and I was not that impressed. It looked made out of flimsy plastic and the actual dial of the gauge was too flashy and ricey to me.

I wonder if any vendor here offers a discrete A-pillar gauge pod WITH headliner material...

I'm surprised no one has come up with a software solution to show boost in the information display in the gauge cluster.

Correct...the problem is the refresh rate for that part of the screen is too low to be of any real use
