    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.
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    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.

    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
