Try here http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog...2b5c146eca9f22
and a DIY fitting guide http://www.stefanostadal.homedns.org...ods_gauges.htm
If your car is a newage, the oil temp sender is plumbed into the same place under the intercooler and the boost can be t'd off the vacuum pipe from the dumpvalve.

Gauge Shop www.gaugeshop.co.uk is worth checking out as well. Got my double pillar pod from scoobyworld which was really good value for money.
Watch-out for hidden costs which can pop up when you start to include the electrical installation stuff. Splicing into the fuse box can be a bit tricky since you've only got limited room and cables to work with, so having good quality tools is a must.
I fitted boost and oil-pressure gauges on mine and even though I had to buy an extra bit of hosing and tee for the pressure sender it still came in at under 150 squids.

Take a look on ebay mate.
Iv'e just had a look myself and a company in Hong Kong are doing
3 autogauge stealth gauges for £88 inc free postage.
Item number: 8042247050
If you look at www.gaugeshop.co.uk you will see they are £49.99 each
and that's for the old style bezel.
A very good deal indeed !!

David is the owner of API engines and knows his stuff, give him a shout and not just for the gauges but anything you want done on your Scoob.
