anyone know a site where i can order the gauge cluster that comes with MR's and RS'

thanks

 

It's a Mitsu part - you get it from the factory. I wouldn't recommend buying that, though. Spend your money on bigger, better, more useful gauges. The boost and oil temp are valuable, but the voltage is not that useful. They are very small gauges, and you can't get replacements for them, because no one makes gauges that small.

 

http://www.mitsubishipartsstore.comThe first place I would check is the dealership where you bought your car. But if they are too high this place sells them for a little over cost.

 

thanks i was looking at the defi gauges but its a little pricey

ill look into it thanks guys

 

You can get Stewart Warner, Autometer, MEgan, etc...don't have to jump all the way to Defi. They cost more than my turbo.

 

You can find some nice gauge/panel packages here:

Aftermarket-wise, I prefer VDO gauges, but I opted for the factory package in my SE.

 

but they are just as good as aftermarket ...... lol

 

you can get autometer at your local pepboys I got my boost gauge there and a couple of other gauges, very well made and inexpensive and accurate might I add, my boost gauge was off by 1+ psi

 

You Should buy After market gauges instead in a nice Bezzel mont. You don't have to go Defi, Those things are pretty Expensive. Autometer is pretty good, but stay away from suff like Faze.

 

Nice try.

The boost gauge works fine and the oil temp is very useful. If somebody already has these gauges, it's not cost-effective to upgrade them, but for someone like this who doesn't have ANY gauges yet, it is better to spend his money on aftermarket gauges rather than the OEM gauges. That would just make no sense. I guess you never really understood this even after all of our previous arguments, huh, Mr. Namechanger?

 

Yes, they are sufficient ... but for the price the dealer asks for them, It might be better to go aftermarket. I have the Mitsu. gauges because I have an MR ... I agree that the money would be better spent on gauges that are larger, easier to read, and perhaps have a peak function along with a bezel with a slight angle to the mounting positions for better visibility.

 

i understand that you dont like the word 'better'

 

His comment was tongue-in-cheek. We used to have lots of arguments about the usefulness of the stock MR boost gauge when the MR first came out. My gauge always worked perfectly AND STILL DOES. I had no reason to upgrade it until I started running more than 21.75psi (1.5 bar) daily. He also used to have a different name, then changed it (dunno why), but I haven't forgotten who he is and what he doesn't know.

 

I was typing that reply while you were typing yours ... I'm not sure why you quoted me. I see what you are saying though.

I like my gauges just fine. I don't need anything more. The boost gauge doesn't really read high enough for high boost apps and the range of the oil temp gauge seems a little odd. I've never seen my oil temp gauge over about 72* and there is still about 2/3 of the gauge to go at that point. I don't drive very hard often though, so it might be more useful for others that do.

It would make sense to me that would have included a boost gauge with some room to grow like the oil temp gauge. They've got to know that people up the boost on these cars.

And EGT would be much more useful than voltage ...

 

dont know what ?
that you changed your boost gauge for a 'better' one?
