Post How To Triple Gauge Pillar DEPO Gauges Install (Using Gauge Cluster Harness)

So i found these gauges called DEPO they look like Defis they have the stepper motor technology and they are around the same price as Pro Sports. They aren't really main stream in the US yet but lots of people in Japan and other countries use them and ive herd nothing but good things.

I purchased a Electronic Boost Gauge. Oil Pressure Gauge, and a Wideband Gauge all got shipped for $290. I think there is 1, 2 or maybe 3 dealers in North America.

I figured not many people here in the US rock these gauges so why not give it a try and maybe they will end up being great and more and more people will start to buy them.

I tired finding reviews through search engines but the only way i found good info was going to Japanese websites and it seems like alot of people use them in the streets of Japan so it must be decent.

Here are some unboxing pictures and installation pictures.





Boost Gauge Cool thing about this one is that there is a allen screw in the back that allows you to adjust the gauge. so if its reading under or over your actual boost you can fix it.


Oil Pressure Gauge


Wideband Gauge







Stock Gauge Cluster Connectors
(Black is Ground, Red is power which is switched via ACC, Yellow is Light bulb wire switchable via headlight control.)



All the wiring from pillar

These look really nice, especially for the price! How accurate are they? Also, what pillar pod is that?

+1, they are very nice and would probably buy them myself if they are as accurate as AEM

So far the boost is accurate and the Wideband Bosch sensor is the latest and the display is 00.00 instead of AEM 00.0

The pillar I have is glowshift
