Default Gauge Install

Here is some pictures of the Defi BF series gauges I just finishing installing, along with the Greddy e-01

Here is where I mounted the e-mangement, and e-01 unit

i didn't realize 60mm gauges fit in there.

I love those BF gauges!

If anyone's interested in those gauges our sponsor RavSpec can hook you up.

besides boost and EGT, which do you think is a better gauge to have, oil or fuel pressure, cuz i was kinda on the hunch of both, only where the hel do you put em, and i dont want 4 gauges down along my sidewall, any hints or tips.

Thanks Tim for your detailed responses to my PM's. I tried to PM you back again but your box was full. Again, your gauges look great. Thanks for your help.

one of the best spots i have seen was to put it in the vent on the drivers door. Its the perfect size of a gauge and it faces the driver perfectly.

Amazing is the word, I saw them today in person today and they are way cool, I like the way they are just black until you start the car up and then they come on. They look absolutely stock great install.
