center console gauge install photo
They are VDO gauges and i had hollywood speedo silkscreen them to match my factory silver dials.
one is boost the other is vacuum, both recalibrated in bar.
they look better to me than the out dated looking factory cell phone that came there along with a blank space for a never offered nav system.
you could easily add more gauges in the space if you wanted
have a sheet of factory style carbon fiber ordered from germany to replace the leather panel i made to hold the gauges. i think it may match the rest of the interior better.
hooking them up was easy thanks to help from fellow rennlisters again

VB told me to run the hose under the console to the rear of the car, so that was my path.
under the console @ the back there is a fist sized hole w/a rubber plug in it w/ an existing hose running through it. the hole is there to reach the top drive tube bolts.
if you fish a hanger through that hole and put one down between the engine and the firewall they will almost touch under the car above the transmission.
then there is a small line coming off the TB that already has a T fitting in it w/a pluged off leg waiting for a boost gauge to be hooked to it.
the install was done w/information along the way from several rennlisters.
thanks for the help and photos!
