There is a hole where the instrument cluster used to be on my Scirocco There is a 3d printed box with circuit board and screw terminals connected to wires leading into the dash opening

The dash opening now has a lot of wires coming out leading to a 3d printed housing with an Odroid N2+ mounted in it

A close up of the instrument cluster on my Scirocco, its a digital display in the style of a DigiFiz. This one has been customised with a boost gauge and rpm gauge going up to 10,000rpm
