Gauges

Can everyone who had their engine upgrade post their gauges pics?
I mean the water/oil temp gauges, and the boost...

^_^
thanx...
i might be installing it too...b/c i think it's safer to know when the car is up to the temp for full throttle... especially if u're running 700HP +

thanx in advance...

I've seen some awesome gauge clusters where the useless tape storage area is in someone's car here. Where does one get one of those bad boys?

yeah... a digital gauge would be cool...
imagine if you can have 3 digital gauge like this



I drew it myself with photoshop...sorry...it's kinda bad...hahaha
but have three of these (boost, water temp, oil temp, egt, or oil pressure....whatever i need the most)....custom fit on the side panel with leather surrounding should look good....

Someone on this board has a separate cluster of smaller gauges on the lower center console (cassette holder delete, essentially), and it looks awesome - I can't remember who, but it's obviously someone with a lot of mods. I thought perhaps sharkster, but he replied to this thread and would have posted it, plus I think he has only one extra gauge.

hey luting have u ever tried to use defi-gauges they are pretty good since you only need one control unit which u can hide and you can install a boost, oil pressure, water temp, oil temp gagues EGT's, etc,

you can check out

http://www.defi-shop.com/

tyou can run it as a daisy chain style so u dont have to run too many wires, i have herd great things from people about the defi-gauges,, but i have not yet personally used them, i was gonna use it on mysupra turbo, but i am an HKS fanatic so i stuck with HKS

here's a pic of the daisy chain

Buddy has the red turbo with the gauges in the center/ if it wasn't him there was a silver stage 4 car with techart pices that had the center gauges..... I'm pretty sure it was the silver 1 and the guys from PES had done it.
