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. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81313-what-gauges-does-everyone-use/page/30/#findComment-1468659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VippiN Member 94 Member For: 16y 4m 7d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide, Australia Posted 10/05/14 05:24 AM Share Posted 10/05/14 05:24 AM 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!

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..
