Question

Is there an actual reason you want mechanical gauges?
Personally, I'd not be too happy with hot oil coming into the cabin, just incase the pipe busts

Nowt wrong with Autometer gauges IMHO. Match the 99-00 dash reasonably well.

As for the oil pressure gauge, the oil only goes as far as the sender. Boost is off the extra spur off the manifold. Oil temp is another sender fittted into a blank plug above piston 3. AFR gauge is spliced into the wires going into the ECU.

All pretty easy stuff and looks great in the defi style pod.



Boost gauge was £30

Other 3 guages were £90.

Inc delivery from the states.

Megan Racing gauges have been mentioned to me. They work out at about 180 for 3 and work similar to Defi's by lighting up and the needle spinning round.



But in the above pod and Oil Temp, Oil Press, and Turbo.
