Well,
My sister has an 02 Beetle Turbo S. She bought the car last year and really likes it. I know NOTHING about VWs. I ordered her a dash top gauge pod for her birthday and she is about to order the gauges to go in it. I told her to get a boost gauge, a water temp gauge, and an oil pressure gauge since the car has none of those stock.

The question is- anyone have some links showing how the top of the dash comes apart, where the best location to tap in for the sending units and where to come through the firewall? I told her to get electric gauges instead of mechanical ones since then it's just wiring, not plumbing.

check vwvortex.com there should be lots of writeups and FAQ's on it.

I looked on there and it just doesn't seem to be real organized. I couldn't find anything about it. Maybe searching for "boost gauge install" isn't the way to find it. I have no idea which chassis it is or any of that stuff either.
