sorry for the crappy pic..

Here's my set up.. I got the Boost EGT and OIL P.. am dropped so debating of weather or not to use the sandwich for the oil P.. my harness is just zip tied underneath my car for now.. lol and my EGT is awaiting on my mani coming in so i can drill it and hook up the sensor.. but other than that awsome guages.. I love them.. I tapped everything into the radio harness with those lil red things they provided and that's it..

I also used the stickers from my other panel.. and my wife's hair bands in addition to that foam crap.. and they are stiff..

wont move or nothing really gotta use the muscle to rotate them.. BTW i got mine throug Gruppe-S 699 3 Guages/Panel/Control Unit.. Shipped

All the way to germany.. X2

I just wanted to interject that anyone who wants to buy defi's can save some serious cash on ebay, i ordered defi link 2 and imperial boost gauge for about 80 cheaper than the author of this thread paid for the same items. Just exercise caution with whomever you purchase from...

I got the same setup. But let me ask you something... is it really necessary to get an Oil Filter Sandwich to attach the O.P. Defi sensor? Or was that something you took as a precaution to attach a Oil Temp gauge> leading to two sensors?

Ground - just use one of the bolts behind the radio that goes straight into the chasis.

Make sense?

what does small lamp mean or do. what wire is the green with silver? what does it do? can it be sourced from anywhere else?

illumination can be plugged into normal 12v "on" (not switched) power if you don't wish your gauges to dim when lights are on right?

actually it will work but your control unit will be lit up all the time possibly causing battery problems. if you're a lazy *** and you're wiring through a turbo timer harness you want to mash the switched power and the illumination together in one splice.
