I am about to buy a VDO boost gauge. Its the VDO-150121D! Does anyone have this gauge and recomend it? What tubing is necessary and how hard is to install one?
thx everyone. I did search the forum but didnt find any good answer!
Another user told me that its not too hard to install. do you guys have a good write up? I thought there was one on the info forum but i couldnt find it :crazy:

I am getting it new for 20$ shipped with the tubbing so I guess its a pretty good deal!

thx alfredo! Yeah, 45 bucks is not bad with the pod (i will have to purchase the pod). This one is just the gauge but i think its a pretty good deal, its the gauge and the tubing for 20 bucks u know... in many shops i see it for 33 and then 8$ or so for tubing without shipping!
well i meant the gauge and tubbing/fittings>$45

you can buy the tubbing at auto zone for 50cents per foot+fittings 1buck

i got the gauge pod for additional 25bucks

good luck
well then the price i am buying at its pretty good. 20 with the tubbing.. sorry for the so bigginer question but what is the fittings (i thought u meant the pod there - still have no clue how i will install this but i am whilling to learn). I will get a pod for 25 bucks as well or wait for a group buy on pods!
go to herman h web page/That is what i used and a lot of other people here.
the kit (gauge) includes:

boost gauge
tubbing
T fitting << that is used to tap into the vacum hose(by cutting the existing hose in two) that goes from you manifold to your fuel pressure regulator :b5:
