Try this one:   http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/3534573140.html

If you have the dollars go for the intercooler and  the spiffy speedo gauge.  Very tempting and not retail ;)

 :P just do not look in my b3 wagon ever... you wanna steal it just for gauge i gots.... 1 of 2 ive ever seen.... had 13 years now... its a vdo... says diesel turbo charger... and factory built into cup too... aka not made for hole...

i do have matching gasser one too though i may would sell... but its vac/boost... 75$ you will be hard pressed to find maching one... but temp, pressure, volt so on were also made in the series.. discontinued mid 80s.. but scouting ebay if you can find temp and oil pressure all 3 mount real nice by the dash speaker... mod grill for wires.. so no perm dash damage too..

Nice one CRSMP5
I have this VDO built into a crinkly black pod with no pedestal(I guess you are supposed to clamp it)?
$20+ shipping
Ignore the other gauge, i was using the VDO see what it meant.
Now I'm running an Isspro that starts at 2PSI.

the only reason i know of 2.. lost both on ebay... guy who got 2nd one sold it to me as i knew him.. he felt it did not fit his mk3tdi... wrong style/look... but key to good look is to having a few to match..

ive seen them used in bus, rabbit, my b3... nice item.. whole pod can turn round face, the base can flex.. so mount anywhere via 2x tape or screw..

ice seen..
volt, vacume, gas boost (vac/press), diesel boost, of, c, bar, the goofy pressure i have....

rumor ones.... tach...

they pop up every so often... mine were nib... ~30ish +shipping/each back in 00-01 when i collected them for the td passat i built in mar 02... so same price as new from summit... but style long nla... passats really lack gauge places..

I considered putting gauges in the windshield corner but didn't like the look, so I put them in the space above the adjustable steering wheel. I lost the steering adjustment but that's ok since it works for me. hehehe

Looks like a Volvo turbo gauge but most of them said Volvo on the face.  I have a few somewhere I think.

That car is my  Volvo TD, and that is an OE Volvo boost gauge.
It screws to a nearly square hole in the cluster, and there is a square bezel that goes over it.  Drops into any similar Volvo that did not come with one.
I don't know if that one is VDO or Yazaki, Volvo sourced form both, and they are effectively identical, but an electronic gauge like fuel or speedo won't go in the other cluster.
Top of the red is about 16 PSI.  I have extras if you want one, but it's supposed to be lit by reflected light, so that would take some work.
Nice thing about vac/boost is it won't make noise that some have complained about, and if it goes into vac, you know your air filter is really clogged.

IIRC  when I took that pic, I had already installed another of those gauges in the dash, but doing that was an easier way to take a pic of both readings at once
