Ok, I am thinking of getting some 52mm Defi`s to mount in a 3-gauge pod on my dash (which I already have)
The car is an MY00 WRX STi (classic shape) with a fair bit of mods including uprated fuel pump,, 3"exh and downpipe, induction, bigger TMIC etc etc.
I was thinking about going this route, but would appreciate any suggestions:
Fuel pressure
Oil pressure
Oil temperature
I already have a digital MRT boost readout, so i am looking at the best 3 options to go for here.
Thanks in advance :)

Do you have a KnockLink and Lamda Link?
If not, they are invaluable on an Import car.
You coyuld always do as some do, and place the LED's into one of the gauge holes/spaces, and just have two gauges
Alternatively, Link were going to do some very attractive Knock gauges.

whats a knock link? lamda link?Knock Link: warns of detonation, knock, pinking call it what you will, but it destroys engines.
Lamda Link: shows the air/fuel ratio, and is another way of avoiding your engine running overhot, (and melting a piston).

Not the prettiest things on the planet. Some other companies do AFR meters (Autometer, for example).
There's also a few DIY circuits on the web for making your own AFR and Knock displays.

Thanks stefan, i've just been looking at one of the threads, "show me your knocklinks"
what the cost of the ones in your pictures
Knocklink varies from £120 - £160. Comes as 3 seperate parts. The display (shown above) a Bosch sensor and a Bosch connector. Cheapest if you source the parts seperately or you can buy them all from the one source (and pay a premium).
LambdaLink is around £95.
