Hi all,

I'm trying to install some gauges in the ST - oil temp, oil pressure and boost. Has anyone fitted any gauges at all, and where and which wires did you tap into? My ST is pre-facelift so obv getting behind the stereo is not the easiest of tasks!!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks all.

Clare

sorry I can't offer any advice but have to ask, boost guage? Does that mean you have turbo'd or sc'd your fez?

He's probably the man in the know, but not seen him on-line for a while now.

Do you definatly need a turbo or charged car to fit a boost gauge, not sure if you can tap into some pipe line in the engine bay, sure ive read that somewere?
