What brand;

Autometre ( are they accurate but? )

Spitfire ?

VDO

Actually I want one with a black background but with green dials and numbers. ? is it called ****pit vision or something?

What should I be paying for it and how much do they charge for install. Or is it easy and can u do it yourself ?

How much do you want to spend thats the thing...most people got for autometre ones they are cheaper and look better than the spitfire and VDO gauges. The Auotmeter ones are heaper than the jap brands but i personlly dont like the look of em i rather pay abit more and get jap one with some style some people are happy with the autometer ones, depends on your own personal choice.

Depends on what your after.

I got a VDO boost and oil temp in mine cause I wanted the factory look.

Everyone said that the VDO boost gauges weren't very good, but when I had my car on the dyno the boost gauge was out by 0.2psi at 12psi (dyno read 12.2psi and boost gauge said 12psi) !!!

I think that is pretty good for the $125 that I paid ;)

yes it comes down to how much you want to pay, i know my boost gauge is very accurate, on dyno it read 12.55 psi and gauge said just in between 12-13 psi...

im happy, it does the job, personally, i rekon its best to keep an eye out on the forums etc might get one cheap, or go to an import wreckers, they might have what your after... as i have asked one place, and he said they get them all the time, but just didnt have any atm coz there waiting for next container to arrive...

by the way i have an autometer

Do u think I should get an oil pressure one aswell, since I only have a stock one on the dash at the moment.

If I buy one, it might be more accurate than the dash one ?

my car is standard at the moment, do u think I would need an oil temp one or maybe a voltmetre might be handy.....I was thinkin about riggin them up under the stereo...

No pillar mounts as they are illegal so I heard

Swordfish, just for your reference, this is my din gauge setup..... a boost gauge is going in where the factory clock is and i'll be moving the climate control down the bottom and the gauges up to the top in a few weeks (wire lengths permitting - finger crossed!)

i've got a "swoosh" gauge that cost me $80 new, when tested on the dyno it read about 1psi more than the dyno gauge, works for me :(

Swordfish19792002: piller mounts r legal as long as there below the top of the steering wheel.

not cheap at all... and also they are electrical, therefor you need controller which i have heard is around the 400 ish mark alone...

go the glovebox set up :( stealth, and when car is parked, no one will see gauges, and go, smash window rip them out...
