The boost is handy to know what pressure the turbo is making, can indicate issues as well as being essential when tuning the car further. Oil temp. is handy to show you when the car is safe to boost hard and when its over heating on a hot day in traffic or at a track, say. Oil pressure is useful to highlight when you have a problem with, well, er, oil pressure, too low and causes major problems and if it shoots up high suddenly it can be an indicator of big end failure. If you have a phase2 classic 99->2000 then the popular thing to do is buy a three gauge cubby pod, sits on the dash in place of the central cubby, or for other years you get an A pillar pod which runs up the pillar between the drivers side front door and the windscreen. The gauges should come with all senders which need to be plugged onto the engine to read the information. Boost can be plumbed off the inlet manifold (there are always spare barbs blanked off). Oil temp generally gets fitted to the block just by number three cylinder, there is a blank on the block that can be removed with a hex wrench easily enough. oil pressure is a little more difficult, you will hopefull get a pressure sender with the gauge and this needs to ideally replace the standard one already on the car, this standard one is pants really as it wont flash a warning til something ludicrous like 0.5bar! The standard pressure sender is on top of the block just tight by the alternator, between the alternator and the power steering reservoir, you need to uncrew the OE sender and put the new one directly in its place, they can be quite fiddly if the new sender is longer than the old, so you may need to think about which way round you have it resting. Gauges can be good fun and cool to look at, they can also drive you to distraction worrying about every single change that isnt "normal", gauges can make you very paranoid. if your new to all this then you might want to also consider a knocklink and a lambdalink, both available from Bob Rawle at BRdevelopments. rooferman 29 December 2005, 21:41 Mail sent.. scoobytoo 31 December 2005, 10:26 up for the weekend:thumb: frayz 31 December 2005, 16:05 Heres mine fitted :) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?p=5308279#post5308279post5308279 DARKSSLASH 31 December 2005, 16:27 Noticed the old gauges (stealth 1) are now 19.99 boost and 21.99 oil temp. are the 2006 worth the extra??????? whats the main differences??? scoobytoo 31 December 2005, 16:45 Noticed the old gauges (stealth 1) are now 19.99 boost and 21.99 oil temp. are the 2006 worth the extra??????? whats the main differences??? check out the link for full info. the new gauges are 270 degree with opening ceremony and are now easier to wire in.:thumb: scoobytoo 02 January 2006, 10:07 7 days left folks:thumb: Trap2Terrorist 02 January 2006, 15:20 Mail sent :D scoobytoo 03 January 2006, 09:08 get in quick folks not many days left now Psychosootie 03 January 2006, 17:31 been looking at the s1 2006 models, do these come with the senders or are they at extrs cost? sean rooferman 03 January 2006, 20:22 Have sent mail to nick but had no reply yet.....has anyone else had conformation of order?
