p3 gauge installed- integrated into AC vent

I just realize I never posted pics of this...


Install was pretty simple....however wiring it thru the console was not fun.

Overall fitment is amazing 10/10
Color match 10/10
Calibration was a piece of cake 10/10
Accuracy- 10/10




yes the pic is huge.
yes it was taken at idle.
It does read the stock 8.7-8.8 peak boost (stock..heh)

Feel free to ask Q's about installs or anything else

Well, I have no use for a boost gauge, and I love my AC far too much to give up one square inch of vent, but having said all that, it looks awesome!

supposed to take 30-45 mins

took me about 50 mins from start to finish. I was being super gentle removing the trim.

Looks like the foam piece came undone on yours too. You can see it folding up right above the display. That bugged the crap out of me. Aside from that, it's a great gauge.

I really really like this gauge.....almost as much as my Defi BF Amber Boost Gauge and control i had on my last car...The only thing that gets me is the constant fingerprint left on the gauge when checking peak boost levels or changing maps...LOL a minor little bug, but no biggie..Anyone on the fence about a boost gauge this is the shit!! As far as the A/C being an issue, it is not at all and actually makes the 135i a better car....monitoring the boost is a must on a turbo!!

there is no noticeable reduction in air flow... it literally covers 1 inch or so.

Thanks hind!
