Hi all

I've got a J plate 4x4 saph (facelift dash).. and was wondering about common mounting places for gauges.

I know on the pre-facelift ones (like I used to have) you could remove the center two vents and put a banking plate with between 1 and 3 gauges in there... can this be done with the facelift version? or would it just be on the pillars ?

Also... what do people suggest I get... I was definitly thinking Boost...as I have no idea what it is running at the moment... but maybe oil temp ? any others ? bearing in mind I know nothing about cars/cossie's and it's all way over my head...

Cheers in advance peeps

 

Also...can anyone recommend what gauges to use ?

I was looking at these on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MEWA:IT but didn't know how good they'd be...

or possibly the racex digital ones...


does anyone know of any problems with these... or if they're hard to fit... easier/better alternatives ?

Cheers

 

I would get an oil pressure gauge as well. Very handy for monitoring whats happening when on full boost. Autometer gauges are very good and are pretty accurate. take a look at this website:

got a few guages in mine

 

Thanks for your help peeps..

brigsy...where did you get your pods/mounting brackets for the gauges... what were they called and how much were they please (soz for the 20 questions..)

 

the single pods were from demon tweeks, made by TIM, about £7 each

the twin a pillar pod cost about £60 from pj motorsport
