Scrotus Member 156 Member For: 16y 6m 3d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 29/05/09 08:39 AM Share Posted 29/05/09 08:39 AM Im looking to get a boost and oil gauge, not really interested in mounting them on the top of the dash. The only other spot I can think of is the console near the shifter, under the cd player. Has anyone else mounted them there? I would get one with a alarm, so no need to look at all the time.

When I add the oil temp I will move the boost to the middle and put the oil temp where the boost is now, with then both slightly angled towards the driver. If I feel really adventurous I will make some type of panel to stop anything falling in behind them. Probably out of perspex with the back side painted matt black.

jimmy1234 Donating Members 364 Member For: 17y 8d Gender: Male Posted 02/06/09 05:11 AM Share Posted 02/06/09 05:11 AM Boost gauge is only there for launches on 1/4 runs and oil temp will be there for just to keep on eye on things when I get a little excited on track days....You don't need to constantly monitor the gauges just a quick glance to see where the needle is pointing....

I just want oil pressure and boost guages to check out every now and again. Jimmy are those gauges 52mm and are they sitting in a gauge holder or are they a nice fit without a gauge holder ?

jimmy1234 Donating Members 364 Member For: 17y 8d Gender: Male Posted 03/06/09 06:05 AM Share Posted 03/06/09 06:05 AM The manual says they are 71mm the outer dress ring and 60mm body. Yes I am using the gauge holder. I am also going to add a button in the spare spot on the dash under the fog light button, so I can turn the light off at night..when cruising it can be a bit distracting.
