A boost and engine oil temp guage works out to about $450 landed.<div class='bbimg'></div><div class='bbimg'></div>Here is some more infoOriginally I wanted to get the Autometer Nexus (about $900 landed) but gee - it's hard to justify the cost...<div class='bbimg'></div><div class='bbimg'></div>or the Autometer cobalt (also $450 landed).. looks like a nice solid guage, but a maybe a little bit 'how's your nanna'<div class='bbimg'></div><div class='bbimg'></div>I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has had good or bad experiences using the defi blue racer guages - or either of the other two...

(US$323 total) which at the mo is around AU$414 landed - assuming I dont get hit for GST on entry Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31861-defi-blue-racer-gauges/#findComment-487791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCVIN Member 224 Member For: 20y 2m 7d Location: Perth Western Australia Posted 18/01/07 01:53 PM Share Posted 18/01/07 01:53 PM Hey I just got two defi blue racer gauges from egauges... worked out to be 536AU with shipping to perth.. They are nice gauges!! and they are electric.. come with their own senders etc.. got all the wires done just need to connect the boost line and oil sensor to the car.. they dont fit in the standard gauge pod too well.. as they have a lip at the front that I didnt know about.. I have done some slight modifications and can post photos when they are done.. I am using the surrounds that came with them instead of the fpv silver rings as they are too small.
