savage bulldogs Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Here's a pic of my depo 4 in 1 gauge can't fault it for under £100 [emoji6] Didn't like the colour so switched the colour over to this Love being able to know how warm the oil is before I use any boost and being able to monitor oil pressure is a bonus [emoji6] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 As stants said The oil temp sender is the only pita bit but just take your time and make sure you get the "subaru specific" brass bung to fit the oil temp sender above cylinder number 3. as they're not ofter included in most fitting kits supplied with gauges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a 60mm single pillar pod please for a classic. Can't seem to find one or I'm just not looking hard enough [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Could always get a 55mm and open it up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That is an option. I wanted to exhaust all options before resizing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Depo website, scoobyworld, eBay. Even just a general Google search didn't bring anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It's only fibreglass mine cost 25 posted I think, will need to paint and maybe trim it to the dash a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Not a bad price. Do they not mould it to suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Not sure about the pillar ones as they are hand made there's a bit of flashing to be removed http://www.etsracing.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimson Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 So it looks like it’s quite hard to install the depo gauge I will get aprofessional to do it, how much do you think they will charge me ? I spoke to a few shops they say depo gauges are nasty cheap plastic and break andare not reliable, but I also can’t find any credible reviews on the gauges. But then again who wants to pay £350 for 4 gauges that takesup so much space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 At the end of the day depo & prosport are at the budget end of the spectrum, not everyone can afford 600 for a set of defi's or greddy gauges. I bought mine on scooby pete's recommendation it's been in for nearly two years and it's not gone wrong. For the money it's bang on. What did they try and sell you ? Installation isn't that hard all you need is a multi meter and a time. A meter or so of fresh vac line will come in handy too. Crimson, how many gauges were you looking at installing & what readings ? If just boost it's easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've heard really good things about the gauges. It is true you get what you pay for but I'm sure we've all spent big money sometimes only to run into a problem with it. I spoke to depo during the week and they're currently out of stock with the 4-1 boost gauge. More stock is arriving in 2 weeks. There is a listing on eBay for the gauge at £4 more but unsure if they have the gauges or just work as a middle man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've had my Depo gauge for installed for 2 years+ and not had any issues with it. I know quite a few memebers went with Depo and not heard of any issues from anyone. You sure they just weren't trying to sell you a more expensive unit, after all it's in their intrest to upswell you to silly price gauges. If you think these are hard to install then you should look at the Defi range, you can't just buy 1 gauge, you also have to have a seperate interface between the sensors and the guages. Installation is quite easy the hardest part is feeding the wires through the bulkhead and routing it through the back of the dash. Where abouts are you I'm sure someone local may be able to help you with the install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Had my depo fitted for 3yrs or so without any problems . I'd love a toucan touch screen or defis but the depo's not broke so I'll spend the extra £'s elsewhere instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
