Default Anyone install a oil pressure guage inside the TT?

I would like to get the dual pod setup for the supra and install a boost guage and a oil pressure guage. I just have not seen anyone install a oil pressure guage in the car yet- maybe Sean did, but his is in the engine compartment correct? ANy help would be appreciated!

Sean's engine compartment gauge is the fuel pressure gauge.

Default That is how a mechanical gauge is done . . .

I have mechanical engine and tranny temp gauges in my truck. in the TT electronic gauges would be the best/easiest way to go. Just find the oil temp wire and tap into it. Same for oil pressure. Jeff Bipes might even know where to tap, else search through the wiring diagrams in the Bentley CD.

But even then, you'll have to find a suitable place to mount them :-(

So the best would be mechanical boost and electric oil pressure, correct?

Default Yeah.... but I am not sure which one of these two guages I should get...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/11040/autometer.jpg"></center><p>I like the look of the ultra light from autometer, but I also like the look of the Z-Series from auto meter. The Z series is all black- matches the car, where as the ultra light has the same aluminum ring as the car. What do you think?

Default Both look nice . . .

i went with the combination of the two, don't recall which model. But it has the black face and aluminum trim ring. I use the white/clear bulb and the red numbers match the interior colors. Using a red bulb cover makes the light red, which the dash is not.

You can't go wrong with AutoMeter.
