Polo Vent gauge holder!

[Tim]

Why would you want to give up an air-con vent to have a gauge you're rarely going to look at?

The vents still work you just lose control of them.

Ive been in contact with swg motorsport in regards to bringing in some of their products . We are still nutting out the pricing and QTYs. But no doubt the above gauge holder will be one product of that will be on the Dub Addiction site once the details have been finalised.

I have not yet decided if we will sell it as a gauge kit or just the holder.

I'll be very interested in getting one.

I currently run a gauge in a little pod and love to look at the needle move around as you climb on the boost ....

Its been a great help in fine tuning the Forge diverter I have as well. Been able to change boost from 0.9bar sustained to just over 1.0bar sustained by playing with the spring inside the diverter.

Makes a noticable difference in performance throughout the rev range .....

Hmmm from looking at the install guide in the UK forum, the holder appears to be a solidly moulded piece in the shape of the slats, but has no slots between the slats, unlike the ones for the other VW models, also I'm sure the guy who did the install said the back of the mechanical NewSouth gauge would rest against the flap, holding the vent closed. But that obviously depends on the type of gauge used, an electronic guage is shorter and should still allow the flap to open (even though no air could pass through the holder).

Ahh ok. Thats interesting. Ill have to wait till i get my hands on one to test for myself.

the vents are a closed as it was easier to manufacture that way. however the top vents that direct air towards the window remain the same.

Just heard back from swg. The pods are apparently made to order. I will be receiving a small preliminary shipment in order to varify the quality/fitment of them. Pricing should roughly be similar to what they are being sold at on their website just translated to AUD.

If anyone wants to register their interest they can shoot through an email to sales@dubaddiction.com.au and ill let you know when theyre available.
