No oil or water gauges?

No oil or water gauges?
Hey Guys, took delivery of my GP2 on Wednesday. I love love love it!!!
I do have concerns about the lack of information about the engine.
Here in Australia I have no gauge for oil temp or water temp. Is it the same with you guys? Are you concerned that you dont have access to this information and has anyone installed after market gauges?
I found this astounding for a 'track' designed car, especially when my 06 JCW had oil, water AND a boost gauge!
Any input would be great

I agree. Even the extra gauges Mini sells in as an option are lame. Water temp is good, but lateral G's and relative torque?
THat said, I liked the way they look so I got the water gauge and lateral G gauge for mine, but I wish that 2nd one was more useful, like oil temp, oil pressure, boost, etc.

We do not have oil pressure yet for MINI. In order to use the XGauges codes we currently have you will need a special program. To get the unit update with the special MINI program please send the unit into our office at:

We are also getting near production on a set of OBDII driven gauges that will look like the factory tach, if that is something that interests you. First two available will be boost and engine temp. There is some more information in this thread.
