For my upcoming 6G Galant GTI to 6G VR4 motorswap I want to know about turboboost, oil-pressure and oil-temps. What I am looking for (but yet unable to find using up hours of my boss his time...) is a (set of) digital display(s) for turboboost, oil-pressure and oil-temperature. This instead of the regular set of 3 round gauges (just as I have in my 8G Galant).

I know it wouldn't be too dufficult to make for oiltemp & oilpressure, don't know about turbo though. Anyone has any ideas?

boost pressure can be read from a map sensor , these output 0-5v depending on the pressure - eg a 3 bar map sensor outputs 1v per bar - so 2 bar would be 3v

interesting! but that would require some electronics to get onto a display.

what I'd really like to have is some ready-to-go device that would show me the oiltemp/pressure & boost IF such a thing exists...

have a look here (http://www.stackltd.com/mshome.html) but get ready to part with some cash

I've got something in my car that sounds a bit similar, but it's incomplete.

It's called a Greddy data link, i only have sensors mounted for water and oil temp, oil pressure, and boost, but no display unit..

hmmmm seems like I'm trying to do something simple the hard way...

maybe anyone knows a set of really small size regular gauges (separates)?

What about those single din ralliart tri-gauge units? They are pretty sexy looking.
