Gauges

I'm looking for a set of gauges for my mini cooper s 2008.
I've been looking at the alta gauges but they only have a very
limited supply of gauges I'm really looking for a oil pressure
gauge as well. I see prosport gauges and marshall gauges
can anyone chime in and let me know what they're using

I have the Marshall/Cravenspeed gauges (coolant temp, oil temp, oil pressure, boost), and I really like them. Installation was a lot of work. If you want to avoid the effort, the Torque app or ScanGauge are good options.

I started here -
https://www.cravenspeed.com/performa...t-and-2nd-gen/

None of my gauges tie into each other, and the wiring wasn't super difficult....just time consuming. There are a couple threads here in the 2nd Gen section that helped, particularly with the oil pressure (one of them outlines how to remotely mount the sending unit over by the headlight) and oil temp (I mounted it in the oil drain in the pan using a CravenSpeed sending unit, but I have a Rennline belly pan protecting it, and I use an ECS topsider to change my oil).
