Full Version: new gauges in the EVO
DSMCentral > Forum > General Talk

put some new gauges in the evo today.

VDO boost, oil temp, and oil pressure gauge.

super easy install. the oil temp sensor replaces my drain plug on the pan and there was a plug in the oil pump that was removed so i could put in the sending unit for the oil pressure gauge.

i used the 42 Draft designs pod. it is a CNC machined piece of aluminum that is painted to match the center interior piece.

stock turbo. i would like to get a green but i am not sure if it would be worth it.

i want to keep it as stock appearing as possible. stock exhaust, BOV, ride height, etc... so i am not sure an FP green would be worth it keeping the stock exhaust. we will see... i should have this car for a while. something larger may be in the works down the road.

I can guarantee that there are a few exhaust manufacturers that make a stock appearing aftermarket exhaust. May cost some extra pennies, but worth it if you intend to keep it for a while and "stock" appearing.

i want quiet. i have had a loud car since i was 17... i am done with that. i am sick of driving into work with a car that is louder than my students.

that is not to say i have anything against loud cars that sound good, but this is my daily driver and for once i have a car that is quick and quite... and i am enjoying that right now.

i seriously looked at the borla though. if they had a hush for the evo i would probably buy that.

Looks great! I hear ya on the ubber loud exhaust systems. I hate those cars that are just way too loud and have litte or no *cough* HONDA *cough* real sound to them. Keep up the good work!

i think i am going to get the vision series boost gauge that goes to 25psi with vacuum. i don't think i will be over 25psi anytime soon and the one that goes to 25 matches the other gauges. there is a pretty large difference between the cockpit series gauges and the vision series.

so if anyone wants the boost gauge let me know... been used for about a week. $20 and it is yours.

$20 for boost, oil press, and oil temp? I may be interested for the Talon.
jvb6806
no... $20 for the boost gauge only. i am swapping it out for one of the same style as my oil gauges.

Oh duh.

Sorry, reading comprehension had failed me this morning. I may be interested. Not sure yet.
