Did you check with CravenSpeed? I know they sell gauges to fit their pods.

I did see those, wasn't to impressed, but at $200.00 for just the 1 basic boost gauge, isn't right! plus installation hardware. Just wanted to see if someone has tried something that matches up to the OEM also. I also checked over to ECS. There are not many pics with gauges for our cars.


Edit: I think my best bet is with prosport 60mm

Check out Speedhut, you can customize the gauge font, color, needle, etc.

Wow those look great! 60mm or 52?

I did see those, but didn't know how they matched up!

They do quite well!

I think I will go that route.

Many thanks...

I have the 52mm but they do have 60mm also. The only problem is they run red all the time since wiring it to the headlight switch doesn't work because of the Mini using canbus.

Not a problem, I can deal with that.

I have the 60mm pods

Ill definitely go with a boost gauge...
I'm just not sure on the other one, which ever is easiest to install, suggestions?

And where did you get your hardware from?

The boost gauge is easy to install. You just need a boost tap. NM has a boost tap that taps into the manifold. The oil temp gauge I used the supplied NPT sensor and bought a oil drain plug that has a the hole for the sensor to go into. The hardest part is wiring everything up to the fuse box that is located near the passenger seat. Putting in these gauges are definitely not plug and play so hopefully you have some electrical knowledge.
