In your FACE gauge pod setup

[devonutopia]

A little video of my new setup for gauges. I've had these bloody gauges lying around for too long, so a day was spent today (well, 4 hours or so) installing them and getting them working. Oil & coolant needed draining to get the sender taps in, and the whole thing took a while to get absolutely right (wiring was a bit of fun) - It looks a little messy, but so glad I can now monitor EGTs, oil temps & water temps, along with boost which has now moved out the smashed vent to the pod.

Enjoy. Some action of it in use, but my mate struggled to hold the camera steady under my usual driving.

I've had the boostgauge for a while now. It's a racetech 2.5 bar one from Allards, and I had it mounted before in the now vacant vent assembly. I got it from Allards the first time I got my first hybrid turbo, and I know demon tweeks do racetech gauges as well. The gauge is OK to fit. You need a place to tap the boost system somewhere. My EGR replacing pipe (Allards) came with a nipple to tap from. Then it's just a matter of sorting an earth and a switched live for the backlighting.

The EGT gauge came from the states (shipped as a $20 bbq thermometer lol) and the oil/water temp one came from SPA, in the uk.

Found a pic off my webspace. Wasn't teh best looking but it worked fine.
