Default Fitting boost, temp gauges in a WRX ?

hi all, im thinking of fitting some led gauges that sit in pod holders on my dash but the question i have is .....? Is it a big job and is it hard to do for the average DIYer? Is there are lot of wiring and is it really worth it? i like the look it gives cosmetically, but i'd some feedback on the subject before i make my mind up
cheers

personally Jase I would call thwaites developments (warwick) they do all WMI's electrical work and are very reasonable/good at what they do.

Yes you can do it yourself but on such a nice car its worth leaving it to the experts

there number is on our webiste, mention WMI and me


gauges are worth it as they tell you what is going on, they can make you a bit para but look great. I had an sti that looked like a spaceship a few years back inside, gauges everywhere, cost a small fortune!
my advise is stick to medium - expensive guages as the cheper ones tend to be not so accurate

Not a hard job at all if you're a handy DIY'er.

Personally I fitted my Defi's where the clock used to be, and used the wiring from the clock to power/illuminate them - like many do.

But if you're not confident doing it, then just pay someone to do it for you, like Thwaites
