Gauges, Sensors ect

[Timmy]

Just won a couple of defi link gauges on ebay. :Thumbsup!
 
Anyway obviously gonna need sensors but wondered where to take readings from.
 
I got Boost, Water Temp, Oil Temp, Oil pressure.
 
Was thinking of using a sandwhich plate for the oil stuff but heard it\'s a bit tight up near the oil filter. Am i just left with relocating it?
 
Also is there a prefered vaccum line for boost?
 
Also where do people mount them? The 2 that are already in the car look tacky where they are. I was gonna get a-pillar pod for 2 of them. Plus i may buy the led display as well.

Assuming you are talking about an FD:

I\'ve got a greddy sandwich plate that I run my oil temp off and its not that tight, I\'ve never had any problems changing the filter.

Got it from demon tweeks. cost quite a bit though

Boost is taken from the nipple on the plenum, which ever is not being used by some other thing. Which is a bit vague I know but I\'m sure you\'ll know what I mean when you have a look at it.

I gotta wait another 4 weeks before i can look the car is on a boat somewhere. I think a grex sandwhich plate is about £40.

water i used a adapter in the top hose for the rad, only works when the themostat opens but its a good indication that you dont start diving hard till it starts moving.
Oil temp i got a cheap adapter to increase the thread size so i could put it in my oil drain plug.

I used a cheap generic sandwich plate, cost me 20 quid. you need an M20 fitment.
