I'm looking for a digital multi gauge display unit. Im looking to get gauges for Oil pressure, Oil temp and boost.

I am getting the Yashio factory water temp monitor so that will not need to be part of the all in one unit even though it will probably have that function as well.

I was originally going to just buy those three gauges, and got to thinking it would be nice if they had like a square all in one unit that i could just have to monitor those things.

Do you know of anything that does this? The only thing i have seen is this but im not sure exactly what this does haha.

Those are pretty sweet, I need the unit to have Oil pressure, Oil temp and boost. I love the plug in OBD style gauges though they are awesome!

I guess I'm going to have to stop being lazy and just make a nice triple gauge holder that mounts in my radio bezel. I want someone else to do it for me haha.

Would you be intereste Toby? Ill pay you haha

Also where did you get those radiator hose clamps?

I don't think you realize what or how those gauges work!?! Forget the OBD II ones, you you don't have that anyway. You want the "Custom Multi Gauge". They are a real gauge that uses a sensor. However, you can daisy chain up to 32 sensors off of one gauge, or display as I would call it. So you buy however many displays(gauges) you want, then buy the sensors you need for the things you want to monitor. So you could have 3 sensors on one gauge. You could display all of them at the same time, or cycle between them. I think you can display up to 8 sensors at once. You can even make your own faces for the gauges. They give you software and you can actually change each pixel to whatever you want. You can make the needles whatever color and design you choose. You can make a different gauge background for each sensor, even all on one gauge. It would simply change the background as you cycle through each sensor. The possibilities are endless. Then if you ever wanted to add more sensors you could do so easily. You would simply buy the sensor and hook it up to the gauge. No need to have to find extra spots for gauges just because you want to add an exhaust temp and water temp.

The clamps on my radiator hoses are simply mini T-bolt clamps.
