ive found a tripple pillar pod on the bay.. boost gauge im ok with..what others are worth dropping in there and how hard are they to do?? i.e .. volts.... vacume..water temp..oil temp..which would be best?? im obviously putin a boost gauge thats the only reson i want it really but which of the others would be easier?? :-/

[RhosneigrGaz]

Volts is piss easy!!!!... and if i could i'd try get oil pressure, but not sure how hard that would be?

[tokemk4gti.t]

i ws thinkin either volts as it looks piss.. or vacume ive got the idea of teeing in to the pipe above the forge 007p?? or is that wrong??? but want oil pres where the fooooook do link that baby up though?? :-/

I've got an oil adaptor for sale, lets you run two gauges (oil temperature and pressure) off the oil filter housing

oh right like a bolt on tee piece before the filter ?? would there be any possibilty of oil pissin out the back of the gauge all over my pillar??? :-@

how much you want for that wazzer?

It's this

and this

http://rspec.co.uk/gauge-sensor-adaptors/oil-temp-pressure/vw-vag-m10-male-1-8npt-female-sensor-adaptor

so you can install it under the inlet manifold on the spare port on the oil filter housing as seen here



I've had a custom M10x1.0 male to 1/4NPT male adaptor and a 1/4 NPT blank made up to reduce the height of the main body down and to eliminate a few joins too so it now looks like this bottom is to be screwed into oil filter housing, left and right are for sensors, top is blanked off)

Yes which is why I would recommend a electric gauge with a sender, you will need a remote line as well as wazzers adaptor as above.

Having a remote line stops any issues with housing cracking

wow! looks a lot of work boys just for a gauge :-/ might just do the boost gauge volts gaige and put a oil one in and just hook up the illuminated bit lol
