Defi is a manufacturer of many gauges and as such it depends upon what gauge you are purchasing.

Defi Racer Gauges for example can not be linked to the Defi-Link system

Carlo the defis are real easy to wire up, alot easyer than wiring up individual gauges, you wire up the controller then plug sensors into it then daisey chain the gauges from the output.

I like the look of the Defi DF Blue Boost, Oil pressure & Fuel Pressure gauges on your website. If I went for those, would I just need the controller and I'm away?

I would previously have gone for the white, but everything inside is going black, carbon and blue now.

Will order those 4 items from R&B once I get round to putting the interior back together.

You have to buy them second hand or find old stock in the US.
