Prosport "stepper" Gauges
 

Got them from a Group Buy ages ago. Finally got round to installing them on Saturday. Took most of the day, but worth it in the end. They're pretty good as they record peak value and you can set a warning (blinks amber/white) at whatever level you want.

Here's a vid of them working

Prosport "stepper" gauges (need to right-click and download)

Here's the extension used to plumb in the oil pressure sender. I used the extension from Gaugeplace which allows both the gauge sender and the original sender to be connected.

This next one is the boost sender. Small piece of vacuum hose leads to the sender which then has three wires that eventually connect to the gauge. Just stuck it to the suspension housing. You can't really see the oil temp sender (mounted above #3 cylinder). All the cabling (tied up with yellow cable ties) runs back through to the grommet behind the brake pipes on the bulkhead. Was a real bugger to get the wires through there. There was a bigger grommet just above the downpipe, but i thought it would get a bit hot, plus the cables come out too close to the pedals on the other side.

Here's them unlit. They can be set to amber or white, or if you can find a wire that's live when the lights are on, you can have them change colour. The wiring took ages and it's a real pain (literally) tapping in to wires from under the dash.

And now they're on

They're bright, but not to bright. The amber at night doesn't distract you either.

Was a bit worried about the pod (ebay special), but it fits nice and looks right compared to the rest of the dash.

Look really good. Nice job.

Just what I have....

Not looking forward to fitting. Might put a weekend aside for it.

I also have the same, although I have used a oil-filter sandwich for the oil temp / pres.

With regards to the boost sender, I hid mine out of view because I felt it looked a bit messy in the bay. I located mine under the boost solenoid. :P

they look good as they look like defi gauges so they look like mine cool opening and closeing sequence :thumb:

can someone tell why the price is so different between the above prosport gauges and defi`s? no nothing in this field but would like gauges in the futre!!! thanks

The Prosport "steppers" are more expensive than other Prosport gauges - not as much as the Defi's though. I think this Defi's are overpriced. OK, they look good, are all electric and have a separate control unit. Nice if you want buttons to press. I really like the Prosport "steppers" though. They're all electric to (so no vacuum piping running all the way inside the car for the boost gauge) and basically look lovely. They also have a peak button, which can be used to set warning thresholds and obviously display peak values.

looks great how much and from where

They were £91 from this Group Buy a while back
