Any way, im looking at a couple of gauges so i can better monitor what is going on under the hood when im out and about and i just wanted to get some opinions and ask what everyone else has (or even if i should bother)
Im looking at in particular...
- Oil pressure
- EGT gauge
- boost gauge
later on ill most likely put in a duel battery system so an amp meter in the tray will prob follow.
ive been hunting around on the net and found that GReddy have just come out with a pretty flash digital gauge that has all of the above and some (and conveniently comes in a single housing/multi gauge setup)
heres a link to the page if anyone is interested in something similar
My guages are just Speco pillar pod from 4x4 concepts PM for contact
Reall is helpfull knowing whatsgoing on under the bonnet, best thing you can do IMO

@ Rip'n'shread. are the pillar gauges hard to install? Yours look pretty good do they come with the housing or did you buy that separate?
rayza buy the pillar pod and gauges undo your pillar and you will see its not hard 2 hard parts drilling and tapping egt (pyrometer) and boost,i tig welded my boost in.pillar pod is on ebay make sure you check your color
@ threedogs. What is a pyrometer?? Is an exhaust temp gauge
@ Rip'n'shread. are the pillar gauges hard to install? Really easy mate wont take long at all
Yours look pretty good do they come with the housing or did you buy that separate? I got my pillar pod off ebay and the colour match your interior and was roughly $140 from memory
Dont know who to answer , Pyrometer basically an ETG, Pillar pod is an easy install IMO ,just remove the OMG handle slide your wires,tubes etc through. Another spot maybe next to centre console. Not that much room really, unless you could fab a 4 guage pod to sit on top of the dash. Good idea that Might try some fibreglassing. lol
