I believe Gale stated that it was easier installing his BP kit than his gauges.

The triple gauges, yes. I found the Boosted performance turbo kit easier to install than the dash triple gauges. Not that installing the gauges is hard, you just follow the service manual, the BP kit is easier.

The factory triple gauges are totally removed. You can remove the dash to do it properly, or destroy the gauges like shown in one of the triple gauge DIY's found on the forum. I removed the dash. You need to use any method you can think of to install new gauges in their place and have them look good. Check the DIY for ideas. The DIY didn't help me because of the depth of the Defi gauges. You need a good power source for the gauges, battery, add a fuse, etc. you need to use the sending units that come with the new gauges. Cost? No idea, probably book time +++. 52mm fit best.

We pulled mine out and left them sitting in the cups. 52mm ProSport Halo's.. Works fine until some one hits you with there car. It was funny to watch them fly around the dash. Working on a way to secure them from the top so you can remove them individually if needed. Maybe simple as a zip tie's.

When I installed my gauges I used double sided tape, and black silicone. I don't have the Defi gauges that need the sending unit. The ones I have are the Defi 52mm Racer ones.

Car sounds really good by the way Gale
