It really does vary mate. They can range from £10 to £300! Which gauges you after? Boost, oil temp? Pillar mounted ones look best rather than the screw to dash pod ones. Fitment of a boost gauge is easy! Tap into dump valve line with a t-piece and run the pipe round the back of engine into a grommet that brings it out near the clutch. That then can run up round footwell and up the side to the pillar. Earthing is easy (any bolt to chassis) and then just take a feed from the dash somewhere or cig lighter

To be honest, if I were to buy some, I would try and get defi but they are expensive. Unless you are running a seriously modified car and rely on the gauges, cheap ones will be accurate enough. Depending on what you want them for, if it is just for looks, just find some that fit the pod correctly and look nice! I'll look for some examples for you now

I've been after a set of the new blue Defis for ages. Everyone does them in 60mm, but no one has them in 52mm.

I've found the cheap ones, which don't daisy chain, but not the proper defi's.

I've love to get my hands on an oil temp, oil pressure gauge and exhaust temp or air fuel mix.

Just gonna keep up the hunt, any help gratefully received.
