Most of the ones I have seen are a simple plate with holes in it, no clips or anything
Also what are the 3 best gauges to buy...
Boost Gauge.
Water Temperature
Oil Pressure or Oil Temperature?
Water Temp
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp
Boost, not 100% sure about, we have oil pressure, water temp and boost (as well as volts) in ours, and I miss the oil temp one as this give you a good indication as to whether the car is warm or not (water temp alone isn't good enough).
And when I put my foot down, I have better things to do than check the boost gauge
What is the best range for for a 2WD Sapphire for the following.
Oil Pressure (0-100PSI), (0-200PSI),
Oil Temperature (140-280F) , (100-250F), (140-300F)
Water Temperature (140-280F), (120-240F), (100-250F)
Oil Pressure (0-100PSI), you'll rarely see more than 60/70 psi of oil pressure (if ever), so 100PSI max is good enough.
Oil Temperature not sure about that one
Water Temperature (120-240F), our 2wd runs @ 180F, fans cut in at around 200F, so that should be fine.
Cheers again fellas.
