Are they hooked up or just for looking pretty? I like the way they look but I wont install them until I have a true use for them.

Was curious since I saw the dummy lights and gauges in the cluster all on but nothing from the new gauges. Nice looking. Good choice.

Having both the boost and vacuum gauges is redundant. I would replace the vacuum with oil temp, voltage or EGT (which is probably the most useful with the turbo.)

Yup...dump the vacuum gauge. Your boost gauge is a vacuum gauge.

if the gauges were wired they wouldnt be on 0 when ur engine temp and fuel level is reading.

and as all of them said... you have two vac gauges... sell the all vac gauge (good luck with that... dont know many people who want a vac gauge only)

if you have alot of electrical devices added to your car do a voltmeter

if not do a oil temp or egt. and since you have a boost gauge i assume you are going to tc or sc?

looks good though, might wanna try to get that screw in more so your screw cap dont stick out too much, and also pull the black trip over the edge of the gauge pod. just a tip from someone who also has that pod

Sure they would, if you look at the dummy lights the car is in the Key on engine off state, so there would be no boost, no vacuum and no oil pressure.
