Part 5 (P3 Boost Gauge) of the DAP MK7 GTI Build

Installing a boost gauge in your vehicle can help you know whats going on at all times.  Most importantly on a turbo car like our project MK7 GTI, to keeping an eye on your boost levels.  Knowing where your baselines are can help you determine if you have a boost leak or some other issue that can potentially be robbing your vehicle of power.

When it came to choosing a boost gauge for your vehicle there are plenty of options out there.  The main reasons we went with this P3 VIDI Gauge are tons of functions, ease of installation and overall fit and finish.   My personal opinion is this is the cleanest gauge out there for a MK7.  When it comes to functions the VIDI is not in short supply:

• Boost/Vacuum
• Coolant Temperature
• Intake Air Temperature 
• Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
• Ignition Timing
• RPM
• Speed
• 0-60 Timer

Check out our demo of all these features

For the MK7, the P3 Gauge is available as either a boost only gauge or a full feature gauge (as shown above). We carry both in red (for Golf and GTI models) and in blue (for the Golf R).

P3 Full Feature Vent Gauge ($389)

• Red P3 Full Feature Gauge (for MK7 Golf and GTI models)
• Blue P3 Full Feature Gauge (for MK7 Golf R) 

P3 Boost Vent Gauge ($229)

• Red P3 Boost Gauge (for MK7 Golf and GTI models)
• Blue P3 Boost Gauge (for MK7 Golf R) 

Note that the P3 Gauge is available for most Audi/VW models here. 

Installation

As far as install is concerned this unit is completely plug and play.  No need to run anything through the firewall (VIDI gauge only).  Below we have a DIY install as well as a functions run through to give you a better idea of how this gauge functions.
