Gauge selection
So I'm currently installing my boosted performance turbo kit on my car and was wondering, what size gauges fit perfectly into the current oil temp, volt, and clock locations. This is the set up that I wish to go with but I'm not sure what sizes to get. All help will be appreciated!:tiphat:

52mm. There are DIY threads about doing just that. Also search for Galeforce's a-pillar thing.

I am looking into a custom multi gauge for us. The options are nearly endless so I need to get it narrowed down. I was thinking a multi gauge for FI guys, and a multi gauge for NA guys. I would also have an option for guys that want to go all out. I'm talking a 4.3" screen in the upper cubby location displaying up to 6 readings on a screen at one time, with the ability to page through to more screens, reading. Think there would be any interest? This is an example for the 52mm multi gauge for FI guys, https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3852/...5f275337_n.jpg3GsCustomssample by J M Gale, on Flickr |
This would only work for people with Navi, but, old Android phone + bluetooth OBD reader + torque app + aux video input in the storage area.
Also, with your Defi gauges, how did you deal with the dash resetting every time you turn off the car? I'm guessing something is wrong with the constant power. I tried a ton of different wiring combinations on the triple gauge harness and I couldn't fix the issue. |

2, I didn't use the triple gauge wire harness for my Defi, I ran my own power. |

Second...Custom info on the navi? Hot. I really want to start my own gauge company and specialize in multi-gauges. Dials, not screens. All the multigauge dials I have seen are ugly. Why can't Defi broaden their selection. I really have a love-hate things with those guys. You know what!!!!!! I just realized that you can display reverse camera info on your mirror...see where I am going? That would be cool. >.> |

Although they stopped production of it for future release of a replacement. |

That being said, if I ever went turbo, I could see using the Greddy for boost, IAT and EGT on the same gauge. You are correct about the video display while the car is moving issue, but there are wiring hacks that can be done to prevent that problem. |

As for cost. It was about the same as any other setup combination I looked at assuming you buy good gauges, which is the only way to go when boosting. Why spending $10-15k and then cheap out for a couple hundred savings on gauges. |
Sucks the HKS/Magden units both went away, I like my camp2, plug in (wire in a few extra items) and it plugs into any screen.
Only other option for that right now is a carPC setup which is fairly customization. I will say that most of these seem to go away because even lower end cars now have a screen in the car by default with some gauges (look at the juke). |
