Title: help with gauges please guys..
Post by: gavink on April 17, 2005, 05:13:51 PM
Hi all.....

Just been looking into getting some defi gauges..Ive decided which type i want (the tinted ones)...

Thinking of getting oil temp,oil pressure,exhaust temp,water temp,and boost...Thing is it may sound a stupid question but do i need 2 boost gauges as i have 2 turbo\'s ??? also are there any other things that i need to monitor and can get a gauge for?

thanks

gavin...

Only one boost guage needed mate, theres things like voltage etc you can monitor, but if they\'re defi guages its probably cheaper to buy a powerfc + commander :rollin

Title: Alternative to DEFI guages
Post by: dazsir on April 24, 2005, 09:27:04 AM
Hi just to let you know that a real alternative to DEFI guages are the Autoguage Smoke series they are reasonably priced and look really nice in the car, they are smoked until you hit the ignition and then they light up, if you want a pic of ne let me know!!!!

Try on Ebay as there are tons of guages tobe had, even from overseas.

Autoguage cost approx £40-50 in the UK and you can half that if you buy abroad on ebay.
