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

Andy

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
