Gauge Advice, What do you think?

Check this out they make single and double gauge pods for the box and 911. atm-20013 atm-20014 they go right on top of the column.

I saw those while looking online. Not quite sure about it though... How Id run the wires, or if itd get in the way. I dont know honestly.

if you dont know what gauge you need, you probably dont need it

Why not just do a gauge swap with a Carrera dash? They are somewhat compatible aren't they?

yeah, but the trim around our guages doesn't fit arround the carrera cluster, and the carrera trim doesn't fit in our car. i'm working on a solution to that one myself....

the boxster engine already has the oil pressure sensor, but it just runs one wire for the idiot light, what you do is swap in the sensor from a carrera, it is the same but it has 2 leads, one for the idiot light, and one for the pressure gauge. For the temp gauge, you get the proper sender and it goes on a port that is on the opposite cylinder head from the oil pressure port, it just does not have a sensor in it, just a plug. Take out the plug and screw in the tmep sensor sender. You run the wiring up from the engine bay through the firewall by bundling it with another existing wire bundle that already goes through.

I have the gauges and the sensors in, and the wire run, I just need to fab a faceplate and wire up the gauges, and there you have it. Oil temp, oil presure and a voltmeter if you want. I didnt want the voltmeter, but I definitely wanted oil temp so I am sure things are up to temp before I get on the motor. Pressure is also nice to see things are going as they should be.
