Installing the gauge is not very challenging. Part 1a: 1.8T Engine: Connecting the Boost/Vacuum Line This small section describes where to connect your Boost/Vacuum Line on a 1.8T engine. Pictured left to right are the Infrared Remote, Stepper Motor Boost Gauge, the gauge harness, the electronic boost sensor/sender and some vacuum hose.

The image above shows the parts of the Podi Gauge. Various electrical connections, tape, etc You may not needed these on your install, but I used them on mine. I made use of some additional wiring to extend the Podi harnesses. SUPPLIES for Installing the Gauge- Pretty much all of the parts you need are included in the gauge package. The painting step is not needed by most, so although I did it first, I will present it at the end.

Then I will show how to wire up the Electronic Stepper Motor gauge, and then I will show you how to color match the Podi to the interior of your car. I will show how to tap a boost/vacuum line on the 1.8T motor as well as a 2.0T FSI motor. The writeup will be presented in multiple parts. If you have a standard analog gauge, I describe the baics of installing those here It also is (as the name implies) motor driven - so there is no 'buzz' that you can get with a standard gauge. This gauge gives the user a lot more configuration options than a standard analog gauge. In this particular install, I will be installing the new Podi Electronic Stepper Motor gauge.

The quality and ease of integration cannot be beat. Your car could be greatly under performing, and you may not even know it if you don't have a good gauge installed.Ī good, reliable gauge which integrates well with the audi interior was hard to come by until Podi.ca designed a gauge specifically for these vehicles. It common for a turbocharged car to spring a boost leak, etc. On a turbo car, a boost gauge/gage is as important as a fuel gage.

Valve Cover Install with DTH Coil Cover.Premium materials and top-notch craftsmanship make this manifold an ideal upgrade from its ordinary stainless steel piping counterpart for only those top class racing engines. TIG welded at all joints, it also combines a cracking and corrosion resistant surface and an obstacle free internal wall. It is precisely aligned to maintain smooth paths for non-restricted flow. The piping is constructed from austenitic T304 stainless steel Schedule 40 tubes with patented craftsmanship for extraordinary strength. This turbo manifold features an equal length (EL) primaries design that ensures the turbine is hit by evenly spaced exhaust pulses and therefore results in quicker turbo spool-up. Moreover, having separate ports and tube paths for each cylinder eliminates interference between exhaust pulses and thus reduces backpressure. Vacating exhaust air faster allows more intake air into engine cylinders for better combustion. SCHEDULE 40 TURBO MANIFOLD FOR 1.8L AUDI A4 (B5) AND VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (B5)Ī performance tuned turbo manifold ensures quicker and smoother flow of exhaust air to increase engine output and efficiency.
