Default Gauges!?

Hello all!

I'm looking at getting a boost gauge and 2 others. Which would be the most important 2 to see from the below:

Oil pressure
Oil Temp
Water temp

The water temp on the dash seems to always just sit at the halfway mark, surely this cant be accurate!

Mate avoid the sandwich plate. Its better to use the individual sensors. Its more accurate and isn't prone to some of the other issues people have reported.

Sandwich plate? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

If you are going to have gauges, at least do it right.
Subaru provide all the holes for you to put gauge senders in, why put them somewhere else?

And after you went to the trouble of asking which ones, too..........(walks away shaking head).

Its a plate that fits onto the oil modine then the oil filter goes onto the plate which has 1/8th npt fitting for the sensors,

Or

It's what you eat your sandwiches off

Ok, thanks for the advice guys!! :-)

Wont be using the sandwich plate then!!

If anyone knows of anyone wanting to buy a cheap sandwich plate, which will make your sandwiches taste even better, but also double up as a not very good way to measure oil temp/pressure. Just PM me!!!
