Hey, Fourdoor. You said you were replacing the factory gauges. I was just wondering why? Are they not a good quality or you just don't like the look? Just curious.........fo my own edumacation.
The stock guages are good quality units, but they are all in metric readings for one thing (I think in PSI for boost, not Bar and F not C for temp). The other reason is the perameters measured on the other two guages are pretty useless for me. I don't give a flip about having a volt meter and oil temp meter when I should have a oil pressure and fuel pressure meter instead.

Later,

Keith

If youa re going to spend a large deal of cash on a boost gauge ($150 or more on one gauge) then you might as well get something that is different. For me, that is the Blitz DC gauges. Same stepping motor as the Defi Link, playback, warning indicators for overboost / underpressure / over pressure / etc., peak recall, peak hold for a second after peak falls off (great for when you shift, glance up and there was what you were just boosting), these gauges do a lot.

Oh, they also mount on your windshield, so there is no need for a pillar pod or anything like that.

I bought the Boost gauge and the Fuel Pressure gauge. When the EGT comes out in the DC series, I will have that, too.

I'll post pictures if you guys are interested.

They rock.

Fourdoor- That makes sense, I didn't know they were all in metric. Oh, and I'm pretty sure oil pressure is a little more important than how hot it is... I mean if the oil gets hotter than normal, wouldn't that effect the engine temp?

Oh, and about the Peak function......here are a couple of "before and after" pictures of the peak display features.

Here is one when the car was stock...Sorry it is kinda blurry.

Can you change the color of the back light? Where did you get these guages?

Might sound like a dumb-*** question but, do they ever fall off the windshield?
