why are you installing H2O temp, oil pressure, and boost gauge when you've already got it on your dash??

IHateHacks · 07-12-2006, 12:26 PM

Because the stock ELECTRIC gauges are inaccurate and unreliable even after replacing stock sending units, and boost, coolant temp and oil pres. are the most important. I am contemplating installing an oil temp instead of pressure thats why it isnt in yet.

The gauges you see pictured are mechanical. That means there is actual boost going to that gauge and actual hot coolant going to that other one.

very nice, can see many hours have gone into this car.

on the side, why keep the stock gauges? why not replace them with your new ones?

Update:

Since my well documented BHG. I've installed a turbo back 3" stainless steel exhaust, Tein flex type coilovers, Blitz stainless steel intake, powerslot rotors and a stainless steel braided clutch line.

Here's some recent pics.

Yeah I tore the SHO down, sold the engine, trans, ecu, rims for $600.

And I bought a plow truck. Turbo diesel BITCH! 19psi, 17:1 compression.

Thanks, I think so too.
