MK1 TT Boost Gauge Upgrade With OSIR Parts!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- It is finally time to upgrade the boost gauge setup on the TT. This was the first part I ever put on this car and I had no idea how far this project would come since I installed the original. My old setup never really "fit" the build, so it was only a matter of time before I found a better setup. I think this new OSIR setup not only looks better, but fits the unique style of the TT's interior.
This may just be my favorite interior mod that I've done to this car!
Thank you for watching!

Channel is slept on
Thank you! I appreciate the support alot!
@@HunterDirection yea I’m glad I found this channel gonna be using this your videos as a guide I’ve been looking into getting one been wanting a turbo daily that I can push 300whp with out getting a bigger turbo and keeping it as a daily
I'm an electrical engineer with an '01 225. I needed some gear head guidance from this channel to work up the courage to make some real mods. All I have had is an APR tune for a couple of years. Thanks so much for demystifying my car. It's not as complicated as I thought! Awesome series man
It is awesome to hear a fellow engineer finds value in these videos! That means alot to me:) I am delighted to hear you like the series that much. Thanks for the support!
I love your channel. Im in the process of buying a TT and your videos are helping me out a lot. Please keep it up, you are truly helping others with it while enjoying building & making visual memories for yourself
Always a pleasure watching your vids. You are so explicit, which is so helpful for us mechanically challenged people. :)
I appreciate that! Thank you for supporting my content! I am glad you find it entertaining and helpful:)
Just received this kit today for my TT 😁
Im very happy I found you dude. I used to own s4b5 sold it and bought s4b6 and had it for over 6 years now and really love it. Now on Saturday I'm going to pick up a silver TT roadster for a project car and i cant wait. I already have a long list of modes in my head. Keep creating awsome videos man. Cheers!
Hey thank you for the support! Those sound like some awesome cars! I'll definitely have a b6 project some day! I'm glad you like the channel. Thanks again!
Before I do this I wanna do a double din conversion first to upgrade the dated dash. All and all that’s a clean setup bro
I don't even own a mk1 TTQ, but I have a mk1 Skoda Octavia 4x4 Turbo, which shares a nearly identical drivetrain to the TT. Your videos are insanely useful for learning about my car.
This is the video I have been waiting for. I’ve asked about this when i started following your channel. I purchased the same gauge months ago just have found a good housing for it. Thanks for the awesome video keep the great material coming. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It makes me happy to hear you found it helpful! I really appreciate your continued support. :)
Great job Hunter looks like a very clean install 👍🏻your tt is coming along nicely
Thank you a ton! It means alot to hear you like the car! Thanks for the support
13:25 wow makes such a big difference
Clean install man! Really dope you made it work with the a3 pods
Btw love your editing style, its very cinematic 🤘🏼
Thank you so much! I am really happy to hear you like the cinematic editing style. The support means alot to me
Damn that's actually clean, I think ima go this route, I didn't want to get rid of a vent given it's starting to stay pretty warm out here in Cali.
I am glad to hear you like this setup! I agree with not wanting to lose a vent due to weather haha. Thank you for the support!
@@HunterDirection damn dude I just did the shifter bushing and set the tranny. I guess my pin for the tranny is broken idk but I'm glad that diesel site has videos for that.
Just took out all my pcv system too had a destroyed tube and a split one. Have my silicone set coming Monday. All from the site you linked. Thanks man 👍🏻
@@jungillestt02 I replaced my PCV system with parts from there as well! I am really glad you have found the videos helpful. Thank you again for all the support!
Great video, that addon for the gauges looks cool and quite clean. I was thinking of adding mine to the vents but I might take this into consideration. Cheers!
Glad you liked the final result and the video itself! I appreciate the support alot. Thank you!
Might be a little late, and kind of pricey. But if you want a solution without gauges in the vents check out the FIS-control unit. Gives a lot of control and sensor input for the money 😄
Oh wow, I just checked that out and it seem really sweet! I will have to look into that more:) thanks for the support and the great idea!
Nice video, gauges will look great there! I have mine in the air vent, it has a gap around the gauge so air still comes out you just can’t control what direction it goes in.
Glad you liked how it turned out:). That is great that the air vents are still somewhat functional! That is another cool place to mount them! Thank you for the support!
Nice video buddy. Good job synching with the song in the end 🤙
Thank you! I am glad to hear you liked it haha. We still have to cruise together!
@@HunterDirection ya let's do it soon. BMW is running again.
Love your videos! I have an ‘01 225 and am excited to use this video to do the same thing
That is awesome to hear! Sounds like you've got a great car! Thank you for the support.
Hey, Hunter, I watch your channel often. I have a 2002 TT Quattro Roadster 225 with the Baseball Optic leather interior. I’m thinking about installing gauges in the same area as you cleanly and creatively did here, with the A3 OSIR pod. It looks perfectly integrated, and it of course leaves intact the air vents, which to me is important to keep the factory appearance, not to mention to preserve all the air flow. Anyway, can you please tell me why you didn’t use the 12-volt wiring from the cigarette lighter, which is already right there (and is already fused) to power the boost gauge? Couldn’t that wiring be tapped into instead of going all the way over to the fuse box area?
Hello Hunter, can you provide info on the actual boost gauge that you installed? I like the color (light blue) not to shinny, also like how it looks on the car. I got a 2002 Audi TT convertible and that's one of the things I want to do to the car. Thanks, the video is a great tool. Appreciate you making it for the rest of us.
I just went ahead and put the link in the video description. I also love how it's not overly shiny and matches the oem colors pretty well. Thank you by the way. The support means the world to me. Here is the link so you don't have to go searching: www.glowshiftdirect.com/black-7-color-30-psi-boost-vacuum-gauge/?gclid=CjwKCAjwrZOXBhACEiwA0EoRDwlPrUtKGkIFiz4FmWa_6silWSJHi1ifOw8egzLXfi7kbXVErRN1lhoCc-cQAvD_BwE
Looking good. Nice video.
I am glad you liked it as well! Thank you for the support!
Dang that looks great !
I agree! I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked how I mounted them! Thanks for the support!
Nice video, thinking of putting one in mine this really helps :)
I am glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for the support!
Hey Hunter, what did you do with the 12v power socket since that is right by the ashtray, lastly what kind of peak boost are you getting with your current setup? Awesome video as always, great part was that ignition power and constant power location I never knew!
That's a great question. I am planning on wiring that 12v outlet into the small cubby under where the ashtray used to be. (Where the fuel hatch button is) You can remove that part from the ashtray itself. I've got to go get the stuff to extend the wiring still. Glad you found the video helpful. My tuner has the car set to peak around ~20psi depending on weather and conditions. Thank you for the continued support!
For your final mount, did you just use self tapping screws to secure the gauge pod. I noticed it had two holes for mounting screws (i assume)?
It's actually held on with double sided tape! I didn't wan't to drill into the car haha. Thank you for the support
Informative videos, really appreciate your expertise. Can you tell me what sizes hoes you use and where to get them in the US? Is it 3mm, 6mm, and 8mm?
oh, and what did you end up putting in the other gauge slot?
Where did you get the tail extension
Solid work man 🤝
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
where i can buy that front lips?
I actually custom made it for the car out of a universal kit. I have an older video about " the tt front end" making it if you end up following a similar path. Thanks for the support!
What diameter is that hose 3mm ?
I remember that being right. I'll double check for you and let you know. Thanks for the support!:)
Hunter would like to send photos of my gauge install. Do you have an email I could send the photos?
Yeah I do. It is in my channel description:) I'm excited to see it. hunter.direction.contact@gmail.com
You either have that in gear or the wee shims on the gear selector are fcuked
Wait a minute ! Just wait one more second. I see you wearing a Gonzaga tee shirt. Get outta town. My grandson is looking at Gonzaga engineering. I can't stand it.
Good eye! Ironically I got my engineering degree from there so I can definitely recommend the program! What a small world haha. Thank you so much for the support!
@@HunterDirectionMechanical ? I started out in Aero at Pitt. By the by, your intro, w the pink dogwood is premo. For fun, Google lamont cranston, then RUclips vic else longboard driveway - just for fun. I couldn't catch where you sourced the housing. Help again. Have the best day.
That's awesome! I am glad someone finally commented on the dogwood! I have always thought they were beautiful. I looked up Lamont Cranston and checked out the band the results came up with! I really enjoyed the music! It was a blast to listen to while getting work done for the day. Are you a part of the band? (asking based on your youtube name)? That is insanely cool if so haha. Also the housing is linked in the video description! Thank you for the support!
@@HunterDirection Whoops. Sometimes, being cute, I fall flat on my face. In fact, I did a face plant off the roof in January, fooling with antennas.
Doo the Google search and see the first entry, a wikipedia one:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow
I like to put you up on the big screen but that negates what's below when I bring up the video with my laptop.
Tnx
I'm grinning right now thinking, maybe in less than a month . . . pix promised
