But I am looking at selling my car. Does anybody know of any other gauges that will fit the tripod from pole position and connect to the sensors already there??? Ill take the custom gauges with me into BF II. The gauges are exhaust temp, oil press and boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two questions, I've already done plenty of searching through and google-ing and just after some more specific answersFirst question, which gauge holder to use? I want it to still look factory, so does that mean waiting around for an FPV one to pop up for sale? I've seen the SS inductions ones but they screw in which I don't like, which leaves the pole performance tripod and the xcite dual. I like the idea of the pole performance as it holds 3, and looks fairly factory from what I can see, ie colour matching and shape, but I can't access their website or anything, are they still around?Second question, what gauges. I'm thinking autometer cobalts as they are getting good reviews and match the XR blue pretty well, what about ozegauges? They look good, but reading the FAQ on their site it mentions that you can't wire it up to the factory dimming because of the circuitry inside them, is that so?Also, what actual gauges to get, mechanical boost obviously, and I'm thinking elec oil pressure and the for third (assuming I get the tripod) either oil temp, air/fuel or trans temp, any thoughts?Install looks relatively straight forward, just a pain to get all the wires etc around. T-piece for the boost, and a oil pressure sandwich plate for the oil, which just fits in with the oil filter from what I can see?Anyway, any help would be much appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudiger All round good guy!

But yeah, hard to get onto. I got mine through a google search and bought it from a place in Perth.As for guages, screw the expendsive ones. Again, got mine off ebay. Stepmotor ones and they look ok to me. I went for Oil temp, oil pressure and boost.Heres a quick vid of them starting up (If it attaches.) They are a bit noisy in that they tick a bit when the radio is not on, but considering the price of tsome...Anyway mate, you get what you like, I'm just giving you an example and a look of the holder. Clips in, looks the goods. Edited 17/02/11 01:02 PM by Rudiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get elec stepper motor type gauges for all, and you can tap the oil one into the line for the turbo with a brass t fitting. If you search someone has done that and mentioned the part number, think it was a VDO part.I have the FPV mount and Defi gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
