Boost/Vac
EGT Oil Pressure Looks pretty sweet although only if the gauges have peak/replay, I don't think I would want to be looking down at the gauges while under acceleration |

Will the gauge panel be available by itself ONLY, or do you have to get the whole package? Do you have an MSRP on the panel it self?
Please keep in mind that 3D Design has the same style panel priced @ $292.73msrp... Thanks! |

X2 I'd like to see boost/vacuum, oil pressure, and water temp. I could do without the boost because I'd rather it up where I can see it, so I might substitute something else for that one. Fuel pressure would be nice, but as mentioned already there aren't really any gauges that are designed for DI. It might be possible to use a standard gauge X10 if the right pressure transducer could be found. |

Don't forget that not everyone drives on the right!!!
Some countries have the "wheel" on the right. The angle of the guages in the pic would make them unservicable in a right-hand-drive car |

Boost/Vacuum - why would you have just one (non-combo)? though the location isn't the best as watching boost is kinda fun and there are already more easily visible boost guages for the vent, so maybe save the space in this pod for something else.
EGT - helps monitor a turbo system as a whole...and allows early warning of temp problems in oil or coolant as well as not being susceptible to air pockets (like coolant temp gauges Fuel Pressure - A must due to the HPFP problems and the use of a HPFP in general...the system need to be monitored. As for coolant temp; the car has one Oil temp and pressure...yes they are nice...but the car does monitor both already...I would like to be able to see pressure measurements myself though. Temp...well...honestly the car goes into limp and you know it is to hot...also the EGT gauge will be going up with oil temp. So I guess the best would be EGT, Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure an a boost guage higher up the dash...like the vent mounted ones.

disagree. the fuel pump is a seemingly unavoidable problem on these cars. getting a gauge for it is useless because once the old pump is replaced there's no need for it any sort of monitoring because it wont break again. and what if it does? what can you do by looking at a gauge? seems like a waste of space to me.

Will the shroud around the gauges be offered in something other then white? In my blk/blk/blk car it will REALLY stand out. Would still get it but if it was offered in a black or even better CF I would be ecstatic.

The white color is the rapid prototyping material, finished pieces will be in black textured ABS plastic.
