did you build a relay system like you talked about here? If so how about some instructions for the electrical illiterate like myself?:naughty:bwest said:
I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

no, I just followed the instructions 
red and white to power, orange to the interior lights. The blue gauges don't have this option.
The wiring is simpler that how I interpreted it based on the descriptions earlier in the thread.

ok, now I've HAVE to get me some prosports...
hey, what gauge pod are you using? looks like it's mounted to the column...

I just got mine this afternoon
Day time (I know they're crooked, it's fixed now):
Night time (with flash, sorry):
I notice that the boost gauge is off about 4psi on my car. With the car off, it reads like -7mm/hg or so, and at full boost (16psi) it hits 12psi. It kind of bugs me. The EGT and Oil pressure seem good though.
Every time I turn the car off, the damn oil pressure starts flashing and beeping because of the zero oil pressure. I tried muting it, but it lost the setting as soon as I restarted.
I like the gauges though, nice quality.

Rob, your steering wheel is on the wrong side...
I like how you mounted your guages... As for that boost guage, sometimes in shipping, they get bumped and that knocks off the accuracy, it just needs to be zero'd in again... My old Autometer was like that, but they just had me send it back to them and gave me a new one...

Looks sweet, may get these to fill my 3 pod pillar, I have 2 gauges but they are autometer and I dont like em much anymore

Actually the steering wheel is on the RIGHT side. hahaha.
I'll email them about the boost gauge being off. Hell, maybe I can open it up, and adjust it myself. I didn't check.
Mine is a little over 1psi off... if you find a way to adjust it yourself please post up!annoyingrob said:
Thanks for the pics Rob. How do you guys know your guages are off? What are you comparing them too? Your old guage readings?
no if the car is off and its not at 0 then that means the gauge is off...
bwest: you got one of those pimp 120$ holders off ebay didn't you? powdercoated aluminum right??? how is the visibility i was looking at em and found em on accident and they look sick but wasn't sure on visibility

I have a Profec B spec 2 which I know has an accurate pressure gauge. I compare it to that.mk3forme said:
I would assume the gauge comes with a 3bar sensor, as it reads up to 30psi, so I'm going to compare the output of the pressure sensor on the gauge with the 3bar sensor I have on my ECU, and see if the sensor's off, or teh gauge itself is off.
These are electric right? Are the readings inaccurate when the car is completely shut down (not returning to the bottom) or when the car is powered? You may want to check your wiring (compare the gauges 12v to the alt and the ground to the block).
well I found these but Bwest's mounting tabs are facing down. These tabs are facing out.

I know, but I'll keep his secret...
Check the wiring to the gauge and sensor, seen bad readings from bad wiring a lot...

Yes, they're electronic. The gauge needle when started does a full and proper sweep.CRE said:
I emailed them, and they told me to send the pressure sensor back.
