Default Finally, all the SAGA gauges have arrived and installed

Here are the pics. Thanks to 500whp.com for hooking me up with the saga gauges! Probably the best stand alone gauges I've seen for the price! I'm pretty happy that I passed up the Defi's for these. Also pictured is the innovate wideband (Thanks for Sharif for recommending this instead of the AEM).

The saga gauges are "amber" by description, but VERY red. Good match to the stock needles and warning lights if they happen to come on. heh

Stock location is 60mm. These are actually a tad bit over 60, but works well (remove the stock bezels). No custom fab needed. If you guys have more specific questions on these gauges, talk to 500whp.com Gauges are fairly inexpensive and are working great for me. They make a weird noise,but barely noticable. I'll give my long term review after some time....

Am I missing something? Someone reference Sharif in this thread? Since this thread has been bumped, here is one more pic:

How difficult were these to install? Does it just mount on pre-existing sensors (in your case, only for the oil pressure) or does it require re-wiring the thing?

I would love to change both the voltage and oil pressure OEM's for SAGA's versions... but would keep the leftmost pod untouched.

Thanks for the info...

I know the saga gauges came with all the sensors needed. If you're going to change the stock gauges, change them ALL. It will look much more cleaner imo. Besides, you cannot change only the first gauge, you can only do the first two, the last one, or all three....The first two gauges are on the same circuit board, possible to change out the voltage as you can see it's just hooked up via some sort of jumper cable
