Got some smokey blackers 60mm from auto dials oil pressure / oil temp and turbo boost. Been in car for about 6 months in an API pod - in place of clock.
Had probs with oil pressure sender when i first fitted - but Richard sent me a new one out ASAP - cant fault em
Still need to find a decent replacement stereo with a clock on it !
Not sure how to post up piccies

infact, Richard is offering a set of 3 silver fighters for £99 - i might swap to them yet and sell mine - the red would match better to a WRX dash but would match an STI better !
hope this helps

cheers Brun - not used to the SN codes
oh yeh, I got the oil pressure extension T piece to keep OEM sender on as well
parts from LA_group or lemans i think they are called - will havea dig for codes.
As for fitting, oil temp sender in hole near no 3 on top of block. Intercoller off and a fiddly job
Oil pressure sender - remove alternator and T into the oil sender behind it
Boost gauge T in to boost pipe near inlet manifold.
Well easy job ! I got my mate Scooby towers to do it ! He's a top geezer !
I fell lucky with the pod as one of the LADS was selling one. Total job around £190 including extras to plumb in - much cheaper than DEFI's - but cant comment on the difference in quality as I havent owned a set of DEFI's
