Gauges part XXXXXLIIXLLXIXLIXLXIXXXLLLXI

Ok so I lite up my gauges and they look hot. I like them a lot. I have the Defi Racer blue fuel pressure gauge on order and I should be getting it soon. So here is my question I bought a megan Racing oil pressure gauge and I like the look of it but unfortunatly its not a fuel pressure gauge. I know the Defi one can be either a fuel or a oil pressure gauge but can I some how switch out the componants of he Defi one to make the megan oil pressure gauge a Fuel Pressure gauge or can I convert an oil pressure to a fuel pressure gauge. The reason im asking is Im trying to keep my gauges with the same look. Dont want the inside of my car looking like a carnival.


Thanks Again everyone.....

ok ok ill hook it back up to the battery tonight and take some pics.....I dont have the oil pressure gauge bc I gave it to a friend of mine but he is not going to use it so he is giving it back to me. He is going to be gone for a week so ill show the pics of the A/F and the Boost. Can anyone tell me if you can convert the oil pressure to fuel pressure. I know you can with the Defi one but what about the Megan Racing Oil pressure one.

ok after talking to Wes the knower of all things Car. I think it should work no matter what the problem im going to run in to is it going to read the right pressure. So I might have to calibrate it. Dont know how hard this is but Im going to call Megan Racing and see what the range of Volt readings it goes through or to see if it can be converted.

ok, so after talking to Dan some more...i officially "know" he should be put on the mentally unable to perform list.

he wants to have an oil pressure guage that has a big picture of an oil can on it reading the fuel pressure....and he wants to put both time and effort into making this happen....cheerio to you Dan

up for debate as of yet.....but it is between Greddy TT, or APS ST there are a couple of factors I have yet to decide. One price, this includes install time and another includes reliability. Naturally I want the most realiable and I heard that the APS ST was good but then I heard a bunch of bad stories as well ie. not holding boost and other things a little more serious. Forged Internals actual states on their website that they would not get the kit because it is in the shop all the time but on the other hand I have heard a lot of good things about it if you want ot stay in the 350-380HP range and it is one of the most complete kits out there. I have heard they fixed all the problems with this kit however but still it kinda urks me to hear of the bad expiriences. Plus i heard that APS's warranty is non existent and when you call you are left on your own to figure things out.

Im considering the Greddy TT because I have heard nothing but good things about this kit and if I ever want to go for bigger numbers I can. Down side its a littlbe more money for the parts and install. I dont think it comes with what all the APS kit comes with but I could be wrong i.e. I dont think the Greddy has a fuel return system, Oil pan, however it does come with 440 injectors wich will help with fuel delivery.

I think what is going to wind up happening is that Im going to get the Greddy TT just because it has the option of going for bigger numbers and it is realatively reliable. I might have to buy soeme extra parts but i like having a piece of mind that there hasnt been many problems with the kit and if I do have a problem Greddy has a good waranty.

Where are you going to mount these gauges? A-Pillar pod?

I'd like to add a couple of gauges, but I'm not sure where to put them.
