Well it will not glow.... but I suppose it will be viewable. All gauges are viewable. In any car.

This car is just stupid fun. No one needs this kind of power, but why the hell would you not want it? Not even full throttle in 2nd gear and the fucker gets sideways with no effort.
SO. MUCH. FUN.

Pillar pod and gauge are in the car. On the seat. Not installed. As are the new ilder and tensioner pulleys.
I have some work to do. First time installing a boost gauge on anything. Hope I don't fuck it up with my epically bad electrical work.

Is it an electronic boost gauge? I always hated running the vac line for mech gauges.

Na, its mechanical. I do like the needles and shit. Especially in a 1998 Cobra. It is an autometer C2...
The blue lighting will match the upgraded LED lights on the stock gauges much better than anything else. Mine is identical to the lit up one. Top one has much higher boost, but you get the idea.

They make analog electric boost gauges, they're just usually more expensive. The only difference is you'll have an extra vac line to run, and they're not super bendy which can be a pain. Overall, the install isn't bad, doe.

Gotcha. Yeah, the gauge was not too bad on the wallet. Like $75 or so I think. Got it with a few other things at the time.
I still need to yank the wheels for a good cleaning and also to scrub away thew rust on the rotors and hit that with some paint and then do the calipers. As cliche as it is, I will justt go red on the calipers and the do the Cobra raised letters white or silver for good contrast. The rotors will be black though.

I preferred the quicker response of a mechanical gauge (in the GTI)...plus easier to hook up/run.
Vacuum tubing doesn't have to be stiff. AWE Tuning supplied some thick ass silicone (?) tubing with their gauge....it was super easy to work with & route
