New gauge setup.

Autometer Sport-CompII Oil Temp in the pod on the dash, Sport-CompI Boost and EGT where the radio used to be. Radio is an amp behind the passenger seat with an iPod in the cupholder. I'm considering moving the 3 gauges up to an A-pillar pod, but for now this will work.

Now I just need a turbo to make the boost gauge go back and forth. :bigtu:

I'm using Sport Comps as well. Subtle without being boring.

What did you use for that gauge holder thing?

nice nawz button.

Just a standard Autometer single-gauge cup. Drilled into the gauge housing and screwed it in. The car is being built as a street-legal track whore so the one thing that I wanted in plain sight, no matter how ricey it looked, was the oil temp.

I am considering moving either the wideband or the boost gauge up to the A-pillar as well. I've also gotta find a place to mount the LED for the KnockSenseMS.

I had my gauges in different places but found the A pillar to be the best for visibility. Having them that low makes it hard to glance at when having to concentrate on the road.

I have the phantom gauges from Autometer, I like the black faces because it matches the car.

boost gauge and not turbo. "Ricor"

j/k

autometer excluded, most companies sell them as a "turbo" gauge.. greddy, etc.

I did it half-way on purpose, because every time I get called on it, it makes me want to get off my lazy ass and get my manifold and DP ordered so I can start my project. :bigtu:

you're going to have to have a passenger with you at all times to keep an eye on all those gauges. ;)

So do I. My iPod is constantly plugged in. It sits in the little cubby behind the shifter/in front of the console. :)

I just saw the gauge setup on Cheesefries' blue turbo car he's selling, with 3 right across the top where the hazard and headlight switch usually is. I'm going to copy it as soon as I get my hands on a spare '94+ stereo surround to hack up.
