xenon: where / how are you mounting the guages? (just out of curiosity)

not too shabby. The color / material doesn't seem to match in that picture?
Is it a bad pic or is it just me?

why not spend $95 and get the RB pod?

here ya go. If you get the guages on your own, the pod is only $95.

I like the idea but Lotek could have done a much better job. I actually canceled my order after I seen really good pictures of the pod. There is quite a bit of work involved to make it fit right.

just get the RB pod, throw in one of their adapters (either water temp or oil temp / oil pressure), buy one more guage and you're good to go.

mechanical gauges usually have the sensor in the gauge. so you have a tube line running to the cabin with manifold air for boost, oil for oil pressure etc. if they leak then you get the fluid in the cabin.
electrical gauges use sensors at the source and send a signal back to the gauge or control unit. there is no tubes running through the firewall so you can't pinch and block boost lines or have possible leaks.
analog or digital is a separate issue
