Audi A3 ColumnPod

Mounting on top of the steering column, the Audi A3 ColumnPod™ is designed to hold a 2” or 2 1/16” (52mm) gauge in your 2006+ Audi A3.

The unique design offsets the gauge to the left for maximum visibility of the dash instrumentation and electronic information center.

Molded from ABS and matched in color and gloss, the ColumnPod™ looks like an OEM installation. It holds the gauge at an angle that minimizes distractions and helps keep your eyes on the road.

Our exclusive design hides all wires and tubes from view.

The ColumnPod™ can be ordered by itself or as part of a TurboPod™ bundle that includes a ColumnPod™, VDO boost gauge, tubing, connectors and wiring.

Audi A3/Mk5 NoBuzz Fitting

The NoBuzz™ fittings eliminate the vibration and noise of boost gauges when installed on automobiles with turbocharged engines.

Mechanical boost gauges use a feed line from the turbocharger to directly measure boost pressure. A gauge vibration can occur because the air from a turbocharger comes out in high frequency air pulses that can cause the gauge to rattle or “buzz.” This noise can be eliminated by splicing a restrictor into the boost gauge feed line.

The NoBuzz T-fitting has a restrictor orifice, designed to gauge manufacturers’ specifications, integrated into its feed arm. This design simplifies installation, gives a clean look, eliminates multiple points of failure with using an add-on restrictor, and retains boost gauge response time as compared to other solutions such as add-on in-line fuel filters.
