Where would an electrical water temp sendor fit into??? Or can you just get a t-piece style adapter for the OE water sendor?

Cheers,

Im considering getting the Defi 3 gauge 1Din unit to monitir water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure.

Do you think this is something i can fit mysef?  Also im looking for a replacement gauge for my RE-A steering wheel mounted pod.  Does anyone know what fits as a direct replacement to the current pipe?

Thanks

boost - isnt that bad - just patch into another pipe with a t-peice

oil temp - could be interesting - 2 choices - 1 is an oil temp plate that screws between the engine and oil filter ( or by the oil cooler ) - or you can buy a sump plug with a temp sensor in that

not sure about the other 2 though

For boost there\'s a nipple on the plenum that\'s got a cover on it that you can attach to (at least that\'s how my boost gauge is set up).

I have just taken delivery of my defi gauges and link meter...  excellent quality.  They come wih very good instruction...in english.  So if you have a basic knowledge of the engine then i think if you follow the instructions you should be ok mate.
