I recently installed a set of Greddy Gauges in an Alta Gauge pod.

Very happy with the result.

The Greddy Silver 60 MM series are a perfect match for the factory instruments, down to orange backlighting, orange pointers, and the point hub even matches (sort of)

These instruments are expensive (esp. in Canada) but look beautiful. They include full installation parts (except oil temp sensor adapter), have memories & alert settings, and dim with the factory dash lights.

See this link:

Cheers,

David

Nice install! :smile: I'm using Auto Meter mechanical gauges with Auto Meter pods, costed around $120 US.

I noticed that the pressure gauge reads "TURBO." I assume its function is essentially the same as supercharged application. The meter scale is in metric (kg/cm), unlike Psi that's more common in the US. I guess metric system is a Canadian thing, eh!

Looks nice, but why does it say "Turbo" on the face?

Sweetness!!! I'm a huge Greddy fan. I had some greddy gauges in my turbo integra. I'm planning on putting some A'PEXi gauges in my mini or Blitz. Yours are very nice.

Good job,

All GReddy boost gauges say "Turbo".

>> As someone else mentioned, the Greddy Line of boost gauges all say Turbo - really my only issue with this setup.
The callibrations work out at 1.0 Kg/cm2 = 14.22 PSI. I have only seen 0.8 kg/cm2 so far at FOT. This translates to about 11.4 PSI - That sounds a bit low, I thought the MCS peaked at 14.0 PSI. Anyone know?

Yep, these gauges are from the US, but as afaik, they are only available in Metric callibrations. Can you say Canadian Eh??

Thanks for the nice feedback, and if anyone wants installation instructions, post here & I'll respond.

Cheers,

David
