Just flexed the old PayPal what with the eschange rate being so gorgeously funky ATM.
Just ordered a PSI Boost gauge, and oil temp, oil pressure gauges from auto dynamic (black face). Came to just over $177 including shipping. Would have come to just over that in GBP if I could have found someone in the UK to buy from, the only guy I've seen is a Ebay merchant who sells them for £85 and £95 a piece.

Just need to sort out a 3 gauge pod for the A Pillar and a double T piece for the temp and pressure gauge. Can't decide whether I want a universal pikey "Carbon look" triple gauge A pillar mount, or get a custom 2 gauge one from Hypersports and racing (designed as a direct A pillar trim replacement, and find a seperate pod for the 3rd gauge.
You will be thinking of defi gauges, yes about £150 a gauge for very cool. Plus you need the Defi link controller for the wiring and to synch the gauges spinning and that ain't cheap either.
Usually add a 1/8th BSP (or metric equiv) T piece onto the oil pressure=20 switch thread and add the original switch in there with the gauge, with=20 a second one for the temp gauge, although that might not be accurate for=20 temps that high up the engine.
Might need to get a thread on filter take off sandwich plate, sits=20 between the block and the filter and includes two take offs for gauges.
Space is a bit tight though, so I may fit both the gauges and power=20 them, but only plumb in the pressure gauge off a T piece until I can=20 locate a filter sandwich plate, and a remote filter kit ( will give more=20 room for oil changes and actually help cool the oil too, as the filter=20 is sat almost under the turbo, and mounted upside down). Always nice to=20 scare yourself with bad oil pressure on an old high miles engine.
