Ok, I've heard about aftermarket Oil Pressure gauges being installed to replace the stock. How did you mount them? Did you remove the original? Also, did anyone fully integrate the gauge into the dash, or do you just remove and install a block off plate to cover the hole. It doesn't look right being redundant with 2 gauges, IMHO.

Thanks

 

I used the RB adaptor block and installed the gauge under my radio.

I did not want to modify the cluster and I actually like having

2 oil gauges.



Pics can be seen on my page

 

i saw one s5 with an hks boost guage in the factory cluster, as the s5 has 46mm holes so it fit, i dunno whats going on in the back of it though

 

I made a plate to bolt over where the vents are in the center section. I don't use the AC so I don't mind having them gone. Since that piece pops out it is easy to modify. I cut out the center leaving just the diameter and then cut a piece of sheet metal to fit it and affixed the two together. The first one I made I just drilled holes and installed the guages, but the second one I did I decided to put a lip on the holes to make the guages more heads up. I got this idea from ILUVMY88CABRIO.

This is a pic of the first one I made.

 

I just did the pillar pod, we have them in the store.

 

but when you want that official 'sleeper' look... !!@!

 

I have the redundant gauges but this is where I mopunted mine.

Basically.. mostly everyone Mounts them either on the pillar or somewhere beneath the radio in one case somebody mounted an EGT in the door panel HVAC Vent

 

Damn...thats original.
