Finally finished the Defi gauge setup in my 240. I decided to make my own cluster using Defi gauges and then 3 more in the center vent location. I used the green Defi Link gauges with the brand new V.S.D. Concept X heads up display. In the main cluster I used a 80mm tach and boost, along with 52mm EGT and water temp. I gutted the entire OEM cluster leaving only a small black trim section that would frame my gauge plate that houses the Defi's. I also gutted the rear white section of the cluster which clips to the front glass and the black trim left over. I used 1/4" hardboard as my new cluster plate. Flushed in the gauges and retro fitted the turn signals into the plate. I reused the green arrows for the signals and used 1" pvc for bulb housings.

Now for the cool part. Since Defi does not make a speedometer gauge, I decided to go with the HUD for the windshield. I was going to retrofit the Defi HUD module into the OEM HUD pod that I bought off of another member. Figured it would look nice and OEM. Come to find out they discontinued the V.S.D. Concept. So I bought the Concept X instead and molded the module into the top of my steering wheel shroud. It works and looks flawless! I won't go into detail but basically I bondo molded it in and used texture paint on both the top half and bottom half. Then painted it a nice SEM black. Here are a bunch of pics and one of the Concept X HUD the way it comes new.

I do agree here, however. I personally would be more comfortable with he boost and speedo swapped.

Nice job on the gauges I had planed on doing domething very similar to that in the street car w/ the HUD as my only speedo, thats a unique place for it. I was then planning on doing that setup in the race car, no speedo though, I dont think its needed. We'll see. awesome.

Wow Toby, that looks amazing. I knew it was going to be cool, but I didnt think it would look that clean and factory-esque.

I cant wait to check it out next month.

I like it a lot. Very clean as usual. I do have some questions, though. Did you just completely do away with the CEL and the odometer?

I'm not that familiar with the Defi HUD. What was different about the Concept X from the V.S.D. Concept?
