Good news. Installing the DEFi gauges in the center dash is possible without removing the entire dash.

They will be installed today with a lot of glue and with the prewiring done
later today. Next is the A-pillar gauge install with the sensors being installed this week.

So far it's going to be Oil pressure/Temp, Water Temp, EGT, Vacuum, Air/Fuel Ratio, and Fuel Pressure.

Are you going to do a full DIY on this install?

I rather doubt it as it's extremely invasion and destructive. It's not for your average DIY'er and I'd rather not be responsible for the inability of others skill levels and to cause unrepairable damage during the install.

But I will answer any questions to help for those who have thought it through and done some research.

Can you get away with the 52 MM pro sport gauges in the A pillar?

Damn that's a lot of gauges. But they are awesome! They just look like they were meant the center gauge pod
