Guys recently picked up three Prosport gauges that were originally bought a few years ago via a group buy here on scoobynet, so okay have recently bought a two guage side pillar pod to fit to my 2005 blobeye wrx with the intention off fitting the boost guage into and also have the choice off fitting either the water temp guage or battery volt guage.
now to be honest not overally bothered about which one off the others I have fitted so just really looking to find out which out off the water temp guage / battery volt guage is going to be the easiest to fit ??
also anyone here who has fitted prosport guages offer any advice on what one requires the least amount off additional hardware / work to fit ??!!
lastly going back to the boost guage , any advice re. fitting to a newage ?? what hardware will I require/ what goes where and easy enough to bring the wiring into the side pillar ??
any advice re the above would be great as to be honest not very sure where to start and its one job I would like to have a go myself !!
p.s the prosport guages okay in terms off accuracy etc, anyone else remember this group buy for these guages- smoked face type.

Wiring is relatively easy, there is a grommet just under the brake master cylinder.
Voltmter is dead easy to wire, but TOTALLY useless.![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Water temperature is better, more accurate than the one you have, but to be honest, you'd have been FAR better with both oil pressure and temperature.
If fitting the w/t gauge, you will either lose the car's OE one, or have to buy an adpator to put the OE one in the tophose. I have done the latter, as I found the "dead" OE gauge very disconcerting.
