Just a quicke anybody got any idea where i can get the T piece that fits on to the dump valve for the boost gauge to work, As im getting a set of 2nd hand gauges but it doesnt come with the T piece.

Cheers.

Cheers for the info, does anybody have a picture of the T piece as i havent the foggyest what they look like? Also he says that i will need some piping to run from the DV and suggestions on what sort of piping i need?

Basicly im buying these, So any info on what i will need to get them fitted will be great, Im pretty confident about fitting them its just a case of what other bits i will need as i know it doesnt come with everything even when new, Wires etc...

Reelsteel will sell you the pipe and T piece separately.
On the pdf that is linked to the dials look at page 10, items BY4 and BY3222 and BY3223. When I ordered my dials from them I recieved them next day.

Are you fitting them to the centre console in front of the gearstick?

I think you will need the kit with the Ferule as I can't quite see it in the pictures (but I am tired), the ferule is the bit that screws to the back of the boost gauge to secure the boost signal pipe.
You will need a good length of wire to run from the temp sender to the oil temp gauge, any single core stranded wire will be fine.

Also stick some red leds in the gauges cos then your dials will look like this:

Awsome will order now! just to clarify the wires i need to get are a 12v+ and a 12v- for each gaugeto light the leds and a single core wire to go from the temp sender to the gauge. Also if i use craigs guide as a guide will this allow me to use the dimmer?

So there will be 2 12v+ and 2 12v- running from the temp gauge. 1 for the backlights and one for the gauge itself to work.
