What gauges do you have?

[Misky]

What gauges have people got in their 5's?
I currently have a boost gauge where the clock should be.
I was thinking of getting a water temp gauge aswel.

[James5]

I have replaced the center vents on the dash with one of those chrome CGB 3 x gauge holders 9pain in the arse when sunny) I have a psi boost gauge, a dual oil pressure and water temp gauge, and the other I did have an XD-16 AFR gauge, soon to be replaced with EGT gauge.

[Mudslinger]

a good water temp gauge is a good investment m8 :agree:

check out the dual oil pressure/water temp SPA gauge ,thats what im using . ive also got the spa rev counter/speedo , and a dual boost /exhaust gas temp still to hook up .

[jantheeven]

AFR, water temp and oil temp:

I have 2x dual SPA gauges located on the A pillar. I have a boost/charge temp & oil pressure/water temp useful bits of kit but more to worry about!

Boost gauge, Water temp, Oil pressure

[Brigsy]

In the van i have boost & oil pressure. Might fit an oil temp gauge soon.

My gtt has boost, oil pressure & voltmeter.

i think id like an oil temp gauge in mine just to see whats going on , its running to cold i think , water temp never went above 70 , need to change the low temp thermostat me thinks just to allow the oil to get a bit warmer , normall running water temp should be in the 80's i think ??

Normal water temp during cruising is in the low 80s. Oil temp should be in the low 90s when cruising...
I have a low temp thermostat and still have these temps, so I don't know why yours are so low. Where did you fit the water temp sensor? Mine is welded into the head...

the temp sensor is plumbed into the 1 of the pipes going to water pump ,
the way the water circuit is done is slightly diff to normal 5 ,but it just seems super cool , also having the seperate oil cooler helps keep the water temp down , the fan comes on about 86 but very rarley does it get that hot unless stationary for a lengthy time, so its something im going to look at soon , normally you wouldnt be complaining about a 5 gt turbo running to cold :crap:

Today i have been getting running temps of 62c coolant temp hasnt risen above 70 for ages because of the freezing weather!

Volt metre

Will have an AFR gauge also at some point...

:)

[Misky]

I dont know where to mount anymore gauges?
Cant say im a massive fan of pillar pods, but I dont want to remove my centre heater oulets. (excuse the red fleck, only temp :cooter:) Any ideas?

Double din centre console, and then put 3 gauges in one of the din slots?

I've got on eof those too but stainless - but i've only got a boost gauge at the mo. Want to get an oil temp and pressure as well

[markey b]

good place to put them would be in centre blowers as they allways blow cold anyway
