Default Fitting gauges - How much will it cost?

Going to treat Scooby to some more gauges .
Just before I order them, does anyone know roughly how much it'll cost to get them fitted?

I already have Oil temp and Boost.
Going for: Oil pressure, Water temp & Air fuel Ratio.

Could anyone give me a rough idea about how much it will cost to get them fitted?

Cheers.

Hi there

I wouldn't expect pay more than £120 maybe less,depends how long this takes,but usually those gauges are very easy to fit

This Air fuel ratio is wideband or just narrowband?

Thanks,Jura

Factor in cost of pod, adapters, wiring, etc depending on the make.
Oil pressure will need an adapter to accept the old sensor and the gauge sensor.

I've just finished replacing my old Prosport stepper gauges with Prosport Evo ones, and the Evo ones don't come with their own wiring harnesses so you make up your own (which is actually better as the quality of the Prosport wiring is utter ****.

Unless you're awful at working on the car, I'd say give it a go yourself, it really isn't that hard, just a bit fiddly, especially if your car has a lot under the bonnet

I already have the adaptor for the oil pressure as I already have oil temp.
And I was going to buy the Defi pod off scoobynet for £144 .

Im going to go for those ones as they match the ones I already have and they're a decent price .

Dont think I would be brave enough to do it myself lol

Errrrrrrrr, the oil pressure sender and oil temperature sender should be in vastly different places.......

OT should be in the tappings above cylinder No3, and OP where the original OP SWITCH was.

Ohhh, well I was mislead there lol.
I've just ordered a good few carbon bits for scooby anyway so ill maybe hold off on the gauges for now. Will defiantly get them at some stage.
