Default Time to fit gauges?

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of time required to fit:

- Oil Temp Gauge
- Oil Pressure Gauge
- Boost Gauge

In a centre pod on on 07 UK STI?

Thanks in advance

Self fit? Or professional? Electrical gauges or mechanical?

Defi-type? (Daisy chain wiring), Or other? Quickest to fit are Defi-type.

If doing it yourself, allow a day, but it'll probably take less.

A garage etc may charge about 5 hours.

I fitted my Defi Ambers, Pod and Control Unit in around 2 hours to my Hawkeye STi.. and after that, it took about 30mins for the sandwich plate to be fitted once the car was on the ramp.

Mine was slightly easier as there was a plug attached to my wiring, which saved me a lot of time and hassle trying to wire in the gauges myself.


Cheers,
Grant
