Default Defi gauges

Hi

I've got a set of defi's BF in my sti hawkeye that were in there wen I brought it. There is boost , oil pressure and water temp. First of all is I rare to get a boost gauge in psi as every where I look there in bar. And secondly I would like to get a oil temp gauge on the pillar so can see when the oil is nicely warmed up and maybe one other gauge to go with it. Where is the best place to purchase from and I am sure they are defi BF's but is there any way I can be sure. Cheers. James

Defi boost in psi is sold for the USA market, where they can't understand bar, their maths isn't up to it

Any of the dealers will get you gauges to match yours, but be sat down when they tell you the price

I doubt very much that you will be able to get any new ones in Amber now, the Defi Link is discontinued, I have been looking for an Oil temp for 2 months now, You can get the Defi Advance range but you will have to start from scratch as the old gauges won't work with the new controller, Unless you sell the lot and buy the new advance range which is what I am contemplating doing unless I can get a 60mm amber oil temp soon, As I already have 4 installed.

These are Defi Link BF 60mm Amber Gauges

Ah, sorry, so you are. Dunno where that came from.

Fuel Pressure: http://www.google.co.uk/products/cat...ed=0CGEQ8wIwBQ

Oil temperature: http://www.google.co.uk/products/cat...ed=0CE4Q8wIwAQ

With Defi LInk control box, the fuel pressure can be linked to the boost so as to show DIFFERENTIAL fuel pressure, ie: by how much the f/p is ABOVE the boost. That should be virtually constant, so the gauge never moves more than 0.2bar, and the alarm can be set to show more.

Mine saved my engine in France last year
