(sorry Pogi, i stole ur picture :P)

Also looking to buy gauges, preferrably cheap and decent brand (Defi, Glowshift....)

Itd be great if i also could get them installed right at the spot of pick-up.

Cheap and defi usually don't go in the same sentence

JohnyGT,

I know it is a subjective taste thing, but the defi's are great gauges for sure and very, very expensive, but that gauge pod is cheap crap and the combination looks entirely awful in my opinion.

If you want it to flow better and look OEM, then it would be hard to beat this set-up...

I'd also say to go with the Maddad clarity gauges as they are top notch quality, half the price of the defi's and also have orange backlighting that matches OEM. Here are some videos and a link.

MadDad(TM) Clarity Ultra Series gauges are like nothing you've seen before. From their larger than life 66mm faces(universal 60mm mounting) with the clean OEM look Clarity gauges are famous for, to the wireless remote that replaces unsightly control boxes these gauges represent the flagship in the MadDad(TM) Clarity line. The 3 gauge bundle offers a huge discount on the individual gauge prices and includes the $40 dollar wireless remote for FREE. MadDad(TM) Clarity Ultra gauges can claim bragging rights in your car with the following features:

* 66mm gauge faces are larger than the competitions filling out a 3 gauge 60mm(they fit into a 60mm pod) pod very nicely. The large face combined with the logo free design Clarity gauges are famous for means easy at a glance reading like no others.
* Power on needle sweep very similiar to a Subaru Impreza WRX/STi with only the needle lit up on the initial single startup sweep.
* The latest generation of LED backlighting. Visibility is not washed away on sunny days unlike most "smoked" lens blackout gauges.
* Amber/Red backlight matching a Subaru Impreza WRX/STi and many other cars such as Mitsubishi EVO.
* User adjustable warning lamp. (lamp lights and needle flashes)
* Audible warning - can be turned on/off.
* External Warnign Lamp Port - each gauge will interface with large external warning lamp(shift light type) available separately
* External Device Control Port - allows adding functions to the gauge, using the gauge face as a device control panel:
* Turbo Timer - intefaces with Boost gauge Control Port. Adds turbo timer function. Set run time using gauge face/needle. Require use of wireless remote(including in all 3 gauge bundles).
* Aux. Radiator Fan Contorl - interfaces with water temp gauge and activates on water temp warning setting.
* Intercooler Water Spray Control - TBA
* 50 second datalog record/playback(playback on gauge face)
* Pressure gauges include calibration set function to "0" the psi level for given elevations ensuring the best accuracy.
* Peak value record and recall
* Aluminum housing to dissipate heat.
* The higheset quality sending unit available. All sending units accurate to within 1% max
* Best off all - NO CONTROL BOXES to clutter your dash and NO BUTTONS on the gauge face cluttering the clean look. All functions are controlled by a multi-function wireless remote included in all 3 gauge bundles.


As for install, it is a very, very long and complicated install. I highly recommend you take it to Jimmy at Street Performance as he has done several installs to date. Expect to leave your car for the day though, but in the end, Jimmy does awesome work. Also a thanks to UOU for the vid material. :)
