Default For those who have replaced their stock 3-gauge pod...

What did you replace them with? I would like a uniformed look. Don't mind getting rid of the computer (TPS, outside temp, etc) & Battery voltage, but I don't want to lose oil pressure.

After research (this may be new to some of you):

-The first two gauges are linked, so I have to replace both of those.
-Gauge 3 is not linked so you could replace just that if wanted.
-pods fit 60mm gauges perfectly (52mm is not an exact fit).

Questions:

1.What gauges did you go with if you replaced all 3?

2.After going FI, do you feel oil pressure is something you often monitored?
Has anyone replaced the stock oil pressure with another oil pressure? I know, retarded...but the look at least is uniform.

It might be cool to replace all gauges with the BF series (only because I CANNOT find any D series boost anywhere). Also, if I do that, then I can put my wideband on the dash adjacent to the left side of the steering wheel/column.

Thoughts?

I went with Defi BF series Boost, EGT, and Oil Pressure and a innovate wideband in the cubby... cool thing about the defi's is that you can set a warning point on each gauge they playback feature is also a big plus...

Boost, EGT, Fuel Pressure.. but the choice is really yours on what you want to monitor

Doug, I don't think you are correct on all 3 being linked...Only the first two on one circuit. It's possible it depends on the year,but I have seen people change only the voltage. Here are a few pics:

Ec2k1gt, did you get all the gauges from GRD, or somewhere else?
