That one is for a WRX... it will only work if you have a 12 inch exhaust tip, Jet Pilot Stickers and 21 inch rims.

Still need to get wire and make up a box to fit the gauge that will house some rocket style switchers as well.

John. Just curious. Why? Can't you read your water temp through the scangauge or whatever you have ? That's how I read my one.

@ Hodge its a grey on green display on the ECU-Talk hard to see at the best of times.
I think a single cup above the pillar gauges I have now will work.

On advice with my efi motor I did not use one of those ... I prefer to tap and thread.
The td42 has the perfect spot (thanks matfew for pointing it out) and looks factory rather than cutting good hoses all the time.

Nah, you’re gonna need a triple pod otherwise it’ll look crap.

Wont be cutting any hoses I'll introduce another piece the same diameter.
If I can drill and tap somewhere all the better, too humid to look ATM
ALL good but I have a 3ltr so that no good to me

Not 100% sure what style gauge Im getting ATM I've found some the same size as the ACU-Talk with an alarm.
Just need to look at where it'll fit best. Maybe a small over head unit not sure yet.
it will have and alarm

John on the thermostat housing pipe there is a threaded plug where i reckon you can put a sender in. I have a housing here i bought ages ago with the intentions of fitting a gauge...
I can take a pic if you want....
