Hello all,
Since I'm modding my car I'm wondering if I should get an oil temp gauge to put below the stereo with the boost and A/F gauge?? I like the look of the VDO gauges.

Thoughts?

quite common, you can get a vdo gauge in same style.

Hey...my car has one.It is on my dual pod a-pillar with my boost gauge. It's nice to know when the oil is warm to play!!!

anders44

but please, put it in your console, A pillar pods is for ricers, I get a little sad when I see it :/

Send me some Norway money please...it was like that way when I got it. I wouldn't use ricer...I try not to judge...

I had the C pillar gauge thing in my first 951, but it came that way. I will put them below the stereo and get the plate Lindsey offers. The C pillar thing is a little ricer, but different strokes for different folks.

Unfortunately, when you have 5 gauges to mount, there are few options. I didn't really want to go the A-pillar route, but had no other places that were desirable enough to mount gauges to (didn't care to hack into the center vents or anything). I won't lie, having the gauges right there in your line of sight is nice.

5 gauges? What are you monitoring?

Darwantae951

Boost, AFR, Oil pressure, Oil temperature, and EGT.

A-Pillar gauges are "ricer" but I'd much rather be able to monitor boost and AFR out of the corner of my eye rather than looking down at the console. Plus I needed a place to put my MBC and a place to throw my wallet/phone/glasses/etc. so I made this: https://rennlist.com/forums/8206015-post107.html

I did the same thing using a 968 cubby for my mbc

Never really liked the look of the cockpit mounted MBC. Always felt the need to explain to passengers not to touch it, lol

Passengers learn fast when you slap their hand away from it.

I actually thought about stamping "DO NOT TOUCH" above it, then realized it's only me in the car 99% of the time.
