Boost and oil gauges

[Steve3961]

Has anyone fitted a boost gauge or oil pressure/temp gauge to there 20vt? I have seen a few pictures of some cool looking pods that fit under the A/C controls but cannot find a company that makes the mounting plate. there is one on the main part of this site that looks perfect see att. What make gauges are people using to match with the standard gauge lights? http://www.seatcupra.net/images/holland/d7d30ad4.jpg
These ones look the business. does anyone know where to get them?

Picture-wise, it should be similar to my own installation...

there are some other guages mentioned in the other accessories forum page also. Have a look in there.
I would post a link to it, but I can't work out how to! :( ??

Ahh. Just looked at the picture you refer to.... Cupra R fitment guages. the troubloe with guages down there is you can't easily see them when driving. Way too low.
I tried mounting mine down there initially... Way too dangerous to look down there to watch full boost - ie fullt throttle and warp speed. I need my eyes on the road.
sure you want a boost guage down so low?

Not sure really, it just looks neat and tidy! do you find yourself watching the boost gauge a lot then? Are they worth fitting? How much was yours?

I too would say dont even consider fitting a boost gauge lower than the top of your dash!, its difficult enough to look at it there whilst travelling at full warp speed, let alone looking down below your ac controls,

I am looking at getting an a pillar mount and fitting my current boost gauge in it along with cylinder head temp, and an egt gauge

You should look to pay between £40-£50 for a guage and £5 for a TIM pod approx.
i look at mine a lot I have to say..
