Edinburgh - hadn't figured out how to do mines. Generally I don't have the tools for these sorts of things and get my mates involved.

Look on page 4 of this thread for the deal on the adaptors and contact details.

Now I've got to wait for my gauge to turn up, I'm mulling over whether to swap oil pressure for exhaust gas temp and just pay a little extra...

I haven't heard anything yet about my gauges - but as I'm getting the green ones they're going to take a bit extra.

Jake hope you don't mind me posting on this thread, I did get my gauges off your mate.

Well got mine wired up - dead easy, the clocks can be linked using the wires/plugs supplied. The power supply lead has 4 wires but you only use 3 depending on what colour gauges you want - live, earth and ignition live. You have a choice of White if you want white dials and amber if you want amber...simple.

I used a multi meter to find live and acc live, I used the wires that power my head unit. Next up is the senders.

2 uses:

1. to check cold and hot pressure for a particular oil, when new and after a few 1000 miles. There are claims around that some oils will maintain their pressure with age better than others.

2. checking for oil surge, which you may see on a trackday. Sure, you're not going to be able to watch the gauge yourself all the time, so get a mate to watch it for each corner of a particular track for a few laps as you build up the pace. This is my main concern, as I'm moving from ordinary tyres (T1S) to slicks at my next trackday in a month's time.

hi,

dan said this

"Thanks for your mail. All the gauges that are sent are by default in PSI, unless people request the boost gauge to be in BAR, which I believe a few of them to have done so.

If they have requested it to be in BAR specifically, the boost gauge will arrive in BAR reading too.

Hope this helps..."
