A lot of time and effort went into this mod, will maybe inspire some to do something similar. Oil temperature sensor not yet istalled, think I want it in the sump so needs a nut welded in place as a winter project. Yes the gauges can be dangerous to look at, just a quick glance at the track assures me everything is still working like it's supposed to though :)

Stack 52mm boost and oil temperature gauges mounted in a Hurricane gauge holder from Elise-shop. I like the look, almost like a factory accessory.

Boost gauge has electrical stepper motor and a map sensor mounted on the firewall in front of the intercooler.

Wiring for the gauges is wound with Tesa cable wrap tape, same as wiring loom from the factory. Had to run the wiring over the tank to clear the cup holder.

Looks like you went to a lot of effort to get the boost gauge tube through into the cabin! Top tip... slide drivers seat forward, remove speaker, drill & grommet behind there & it'll go very invisibly through and behind the fuel pipes and easy route to the 'T' section thumbsup Did Jameso's last week took all of 10 min!

Actually, there is no tube in the cabin. There are only wires because the gauges are electrical. The tube goes from the inlet manifold to the map sensor, which is on the firewall in front of the intercooler :)
