I picked up Boost, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Wideband AFR ... the boost, oil temp and Widband will go on the dash. The oil pressure will be mounted out of the way but will have an audible alarm and LED indicator on the dash for low pressure indication (separate project on that later)

lazy......

I've not had a chance to run the sensors but will be doing that this weekend. Once car is tuned and back on the road I can report oil temp / pressure / AFR

Looks fantastic. I'd love to replace that clock with something like oil pressure.

Thank you - I should point out for clarification that all three gauges are one piece and share the same circuit board. It not possible to sever one without aversely affecting the others. It's and all or nothing mod.

There is no way to save even the clock when doing this mod? For those of us without nav it would be nice to keep the clock while getting something useful in the other two pods.

If what he said is the case, than no...

Correct - the factory Oil Temp, Volt, and Clock all are one device under the dash. A possible solution would be to remove all three and then select a brand that offers a gauge style clock that would match the other two you wish to install. I'm pretty sure AutoMeter does this, not sure who else.

Looks perfect. Well done!

A job well done

But I am surprised that you don't have a "check engine" light present from removing the feedback loop to the ECM from the triple gauges?

I know I did when I installed my DEfi gauges and had to do a work around to get rid of the "check engine" light on the dash. But then I don't have navi either.

Thank you - I unplugged the harness to the triple meter a week in advance and daily-drove it to make sure there was no issues (CEL or other) ...I dont believe there is bi-directional communication between the gauges and ECU
... it would be interesting to know what CEL code your car was throwing prior to the workaround.
