like to have the gauge set up on the drivers side pillar then go for a boost controller ,

 

What gauges would be best to suit my pocket and also what boost controller is best ?

 

Ive got a stillen induction Kit, Mongoose system , the Z is decatted , and its had the ecu upgrade , shes running at 420BHP and is boosting at 15 psi safely

 

 

------------------

Well if you are running 15psi you need a boost gauge,also water temp is a good one

 

------------------

KEEP IT SIDEWAYS;).

have you had your car dynoed? thats some good power, for those mods.

 

Mabey water and boost guage.

Oil pressure is also a good one to have.

Blitz make the stepping guages, which are awesome (i have them so i have to say that lol) But very expensive.

Hks USA are having a sale right now on the older guages. http://www.egauges.com/ http://www.hksusa.com/ http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/gauges.htm

Just as Macca said,cos those 3 are naff and unreliable in standard form on the Zed, You'll also be needing a new a-pillar trim that holds 3 gauges, again just likle macca's

Hmm try cybercraft for one of them, think they have just one left

I just fitted a 3 gauge DIN panel with 52mm autometer boost gauge in psi and oil temp and waiting for the EGT to arrive.

Z first and anything else is secondary!

Just one question, who is fitting the EGT and how??? The probe needs to be tapped into the exhaust manifold, which requires drilling, so the turbo has to be removed or it will fill with iron filings which they don't really like much...

ChrisOr - no problem see you at pod.

Where you get that pannel from? Did you make it? I have been looking for one for ages that can take 52mm gauges

It's the only DIN panel I could find that takes 52mm gauges and is from SWG Motorsports. It is actually for a mk2 Golf dash. http://www.swgmotorsport.com/

£23 including VAT and delivery. The gauges are slightly angled towards the driver and recessed. It seems to be made of some sort of injection moulded plastic and the finish of the outer surface is not perfect so I had mine sprayed a few times in matt black to bring the finish up to an acceptable level. Fitting the panel required moving the radio to the bottom slot, needed a little plastic shaving off the lower edge to get it to fit and is not fully as wide as the surround and leaves a little gap either side which I am going to have either filled and sprayed to match or have metal spacers made to trim it out. It works nicely for me so I'm happy with it.
