Pivot 52x-bw gauges anyone install themselves

I was thinking of adding these for neatness... Has anyone installed them?... And yes I know there is a cell phone app that does the same thing.. But i cant find two round cell phones to duck tape together around my tachometer....

There are quite a few brands who make these gauges. I haven't heard of this brand, personally, but I can't see how anyone can screw up a gauge to be completely honest. My boost gauge reads slight vacuum when the car is off...then I installed my ultra gauge and noticed it did the same thing...then I realized I was around 2000 ft above sea level

Google Translate helps a little bit. But it can't translate the graphic images.

true analog gauges are more accurate and those marshalls look sweet, but for ease of install the OBD II gauges are much easier to install...
