@4x108Dtec Next time I'd probably look into installing an Apexi safc for pressure and temp readings, plus a combined afr and egr gauge... that'd make a much cleaner setup :)
@abunaiN1 Well, AFAIK; yes... but I do admit though, values on the dials were not double checked; they were (consistently) reading what I expected based on some experience of myself, and of course other people I was sure of they know their stuff well too. Err, I hope that makes sense ;)
You should install another row of gauges behind those gauges, then put one of those big Flava flav clocks in the center of your dash as a centerpiece.
@sertox12345 LOL, it's not as bad as it looks! You'll get used to the extra lights in the corner of your eyes, and the gauges flash red and beep when exceeding a user definable reading. This won't notice a sudden drop in oil pressure though.
I read the comments before but installing them looks really hard. I'm not really up to taking off the WHOLE dash to get some nice gauges in. I'll probably just install them to the door pillars.
It's really easy, there are just a few screws and plugs... afaik, there's a how-to on SAU, or one of the UK forums.
At first glance, it may look a bit intimidating; I did it in about 3 or 4 hours and I didn't rush it, test fitted it a few times to get the gauges in the right spot... including removing the doors and getting them back in.
I never removed a dash or door before, but I've been doing most of the maintenance on my own cars for a few years :-)
@mysrt4303 Sure, I took out the passenger side door and mud guard for the EGT and w/b O2 sensors wiring, then I took out the entire dash and mid console, to hide all the rest of the sensors wiring in a nice orderly fashion.
With the dash out, I drilled some holes in the area's I wanted to install the gauges, just small enough for the connectors to go through, and then screwed down the foot for every gauge pot so each one would face me perfectly.
@RsBl0gger91 Yeah, would have loved a system like in the R35, with a screen displaying stuff like that... but I traded the car for an S4, wich I left stock :P
might be a bit overkill.... cool though!

Can you tell me how you mounted your gauges on your dash?
