Would cost as much as a surge tank though! That's the price for quality I guess.

I'm happy with my cheapo gauges advising I'm making 2PSI boost when I'm not even pressing the accelerator....

...and the car is off.

Got my gauges in now. When I installed the oil pressure sender the oil light came on the dash. So I wired the sender to earth to remove that temporarily. Is there a better way so the dash light would work normally?

Also with the oil pressure, what are correct pressures for idle, WOT etc?

Thanks!

Use a t piece adapter so you can still run the factory pressure switch

Edit: my gauge is in bar and cold idle is around 4.5/5 warm idle is around 1/2 and WOT is around 5.5 so multiply by 14.7 and that's your psi

Don't suppose you have pics of how yours is setup?

Also what gauge pod is everyone using? I got a $100 one off Ebay and it doesn't have the clips like the standard clock unit so it's not sitting perfectly flush and it's giving me the sh*ts. Can't seem to find any at all with the two clips..
