does anyone know where and how much a new gauge set is for an 85 944. I have the "new" dash. also how difficult is it to get in.

 

Here is a link

to the set I have in my car. Easy installation, fairly, no problems so far, very easy to deal with. Also, check for their eBay auctions, that's where I got my set, I only paid like $30 for them.

I think these 928 gauges are the same as 944. They look really cool but are a little more expensive.

 

I put a set of the speedhut 928 gauges in my 951, there is no hole or scale for the boost guage of course but that did not concern me as I use an aftermarket boost guage anyway. Was very pleased with the results, especially when compared to my almost pitch black original guages. Remember to leave the bottom globes in place though as they still throw light onto the guage needles. Other than that the installation was very straight forwards.

 

I was thinking about putting in some myself...but all the ebay auctions say that they do not come with instructions, pro install only....but it is easy to do?

 

For those interested, with the "old dash" the people on the 924 board have set up a model development program at speedhut. go to <a href="http://www.speedhut.com" target="_blank">www.speedhut.com</a> to the model development program. for those with the MPG gauge on top of the tach, supposedly, they are going to make a set soon, but we are waiting for the group leader to send in a set so they know what they are.

 

I found it relatively easy to do with a little help locating a power source (bulb holder in my case). The only hard part was lining it up perfectly with the wording underneath (i.e., "parking lights"). I missed by a smidgen and it looked kinda funky when lit up.
