Because each installation is different, tubing kits and LEDs are not included with the purchase of an individual gauge and must be purchased separately.
Which tubing kit do I need?
You have the choice of two tubing kits for use with this gauge. Our standard tubing kit includes a push-in fitting for the back of the gauge, 8 feet of flexible black tubing, and a restrictor T fitting. The restrictor T fitting is used to tap into standard VW vacuum line while also preventing vibrations from reaching the gauge. Our TDI kit includes the push-in fitting, 10 feet of flexible black tubing, inline vacuum restrictor, and a brass threaded barb. The brass barb is used to tap the plastic upper intercooler pipe on a TDI. Click the links below for more information on each kit and to order.
If you are using this gauge in a steering wheel mounted gauge pod you will need to purchase our 90° boost gauge fitting in order to connect our tubing to the gauge. Fitment is extremely tight in these gauge pods.

Which LED do I need?
This gauge includes a white 194 light bulb. For the ultimate in visibility and color we recommend the use of a high intensity 194 LED. Unlike the vision series, the cockpit international series uses side-lit illumination. This means that the light needs to travel around the face of the gauge to light it up. A very bright LED is needed to achieve a well lit gauge. Our standard 194 wedge style LEDs and our perfect match LEDs are not recommended for cockpit international series gauges.
High Intensity 194 Wedge Style LEDs
Our new high intensity LEDs are the ultimate in brightness. When installed in a VDO cockpit international series gauge these LEDs provide illumination which typically exceeds the brightness of an incandescent light bulb. These LEDs are available in 5 colors and are priced at $8 per LED.
