Gauges

[My5ABaby]

Where do people put them and what pods/holders is everyone using?

[vex]

I'm trading all mine out for a digidash (so I can stop guessing what pressure I think I'm at--I mounted my pressure gauge too low for easy reading)

I 'mounted' my two EGT gauges on the left side of the dash just below the windshield near the a-pillar. I mounted the WB and Boost gauge low on the center console; worked great for the AFR gauge, but not so much for the boost gauge.

i found some relatively unheard of gauges. they're made by an industrial gauge co, so i'm hoping they have decent steppers and whatnot. cust service is probably gonna be good too.

they're pretty, and have a lot of functionality for the price. im putting in oil temp/pressure as we speak.

They definitely look pretty good. Simple yet effective. Let us know how they turn out.

Prosport and Innovative.

Replaced the stock cluster gages, put the boost gauge on the steering colum and got an idiot light pod from a guy selling them on the other forum.

That motherfucker stole my idea, the way I did it, etc etc etc. Should've pulled a mold from mine and made some coin.

Mine still fits better.

I really like those - no brand names or logos and crap, just what the gauge shows. Did you order yours through a distributor or straight from Marshall?

Boost gauge has been mouted in a pod on the column much like the 3rd gen style.

If your not running a/c the vent on the door is a great spot to mount a gauge. I've got a single one on the a pillar. My EGT gauges are on the way, not sure yet where I'm going to mount them.

i emailes Marshall and they referred me to some Mini shop. I'm guessing they know each other? Marshall makes Mini specific gauges (to match OEM), and you can only buy them from that guy.
I dont remeber the name of the shop, but I got the gauges for $10 under msrp each

How are the gauges working out? I'm looking to get some still but the Marshall gauges are a bit pricy at $150/ea on their website.

You can find them for much cheaper but I recommend calling whoever you decide to buy from before ordering. I'm dealing with some crap right now because I didn't call ahead of time. Marshall's website indicates all the SCX gauges come with peak recall/warning but the gauges I received don't have those features and I also received the wrong color. Besides all that the gauges look to be quality pieces. Just stay away from eraceware.com. Horrible customer serivce...

Also, any experience with the Comp II from Marshall? They're about 1/2 the price.
