You are after the full sweep electrical gauges mate. They will come with sender units.

Not sure if anyone has used vei gauges but my mate has one in his a4 and I reckon it would be perfect for our cars.

Can have one gauge vac/boost and wideband and the other oil temp and oil pressure which is what I would have got had I known about them before I ordered colbalt gauges.. Important ifo without having all the clutter of multiple gauges

Btw the gauges I have ATM are vac/boost and oil pressure which u can easily figure out when your oil is up to normal temps

Looking for gauges too. Going for Boost, Oil temp and Oil pressure. Currently considering the supercheap SAAS gauges, Drift Saturn series or prosport (not premium).

Looking at them all in white and 52mm.

Just wondering if anyone has used any of these and how they rate them. Also I think SAAS boost and Drift boost only come in mechanical, does anyone know if they come in electrical aswell?

Cheers

. By the way Supercheap also sell the sender T's for the oil pressure gauges, as they don't come with the gauge.

Cheers

Just came from there and it doesnt show what sizes.. Autobarn said I need a sandwich plate as the adaptor wont fit.. Wankers

I have one of these in the mail:

I used to have Cobalts; oil temp, boost and wideband AFR.

The new one will go in a pod on the a-pillar just to be different.

I just bought a single a-pillar pod from ebay, cut the factory a-pillar trim piece, bogged it a little, got some paint colour matched and it will look awesome once the gauge is in.

I personally didn't like the top mount in the FG because I reckon it looks too messy cause it sits so high. I made a custom one out of fibreglass using the tissue box holder, Nice and and out of the way and can easily be removed. Also saves you the hassle of having to pull out the ICC to run wires as they're mounted just above the cigarette lighter. I have a spare tissue box holder out of my car which I probably don't need anymore if you want to buy it any give it a go? PM me if your interested at all, can probably throw in spare fibreglass sheet, resin and catalyst so all you would need is a putty and paint
