Mike, are you referring to the green rectangles that turn to red? That's not the boost gauge, that's simply the shift lights.
The boost gauge only shows up on the turbo cars (TDI and S's) from what I have read and is a little white bar that rises from bottom to top in the lower left corner of the center screen.
Maybe I'm not following what you are seeing?

Okay, forget this all then. I gotta order a boost tap and electrical gauge then.
Still don't know why its flashing red though. Its never done that to me before. Used to just stay green and fully lit up I thought. Is it by any chance linked to MMI version? I haven't used it since I was upgraded from 0566 to 0715-2.
EDIT: Ordered a Tap from ECS. Anybody got a line on a cheap electrical boost gauge? Easier to run a wire into the car than a vacuum line for a mechanical gauge.

Found it by searching "digital boost gauge". Many choices between $20 and $30.

Okay guys, now the real question; How the heck do we measure Knock Retard on these cars? I reinstalled the module, and turned it up a couple of notches. I need to know if the motor is knocking. I see no KR PIDs in VCDS and the standard OBD-2 KR PID isn't reading. This is the same problem I had with the X5M and why I was so limited power wise with it (I know that thing had 700 in it). Theres more there, but I want to make sure its safe. Germans make stuff so difficult. Chrysler has PIDs for Short Term and Long Term Knock Retard, as well a Fuel KR and a Spark KR. GM has just 1 KR PID, but its easy to find at least. BMW and Audi, nowhere to be found.

Once the tap and gauge get here, I'll probably mess around with it and see exactly what each click does. They're saying 1.5% improvement, which is next to nothing (like 5-6hp).

Put my all seasons back on yesterday and installed the chip. Lots of fun, and definitely has more power. Briefly tried using pocket dyno but am struggling get it to work properly. Will watch to see how the chip adjustments work out.

I just enabled Lap Timer with VAG-COM and the display has, in addition to the lap timer, an oil temp, digital speed and a Boost display. Everything works except the Boost Display does not ever change.
Is this the same boost as referred to in this thread and does anybody have this functioning?

I did a log with Torque also and the boost numbers are way off. It showed a peak of 9.5391474psi, and it sat there, which is even less than stock. If I get a chance in the next couple of days, I'm gonna pull the module and log the boost. If I don't, somebody else will have to do it,'cause once Thursday comes, I'm down for 4-6 weeks (knee surgery).

Yeah, thats the one I was talking about. It doesn't work with the supercharger. Only works with the turbo motors.

If you put your car in manual mode then the boost bars will show, not sure if its a actual boost measurement or just way of telling you to shift.
