Nice gauges, but you got totally ripped off... it took me 45 minutes all told to install my DEFI boost gauge, and that include mounting it and the Control unit and stuff. I'd imagine a similar time for the Oil Pressure gauge, not sure about EGT.
Also, you should be able to adjust the brightness; the yellow light wire should have been spliced into either a 12V switched line or the 12V light line so you can increase/reduced brightness as you like.
Also, that gauge pod looks super clean - I've been considering it myself, but I don't know whether I want Oil Pres and EGT or just the Oil Pres. Looks good.

wiretap, do you know where the shop installed the oil pressure sender? (drain plug, turbo inlet, or relocation kit)
Turbo oil feed banjo port.

Yes they do.
Where is this located???
Any drilling required???
Been looking into getting oil pressure and oil temp for a while, just had no idea where to place the Defi sensors.

wow what a PITA... kinda makes me not want to do it.
If you're special.
The gauges look good. Install is very smooth.
I'm surprised you had problems at Steve's European Automotive. I have been going there for more than 10 years. They are all great guys and do great work. They set up my G60 Corrado back in 97 and it was a little expensive but done right. That thing was bad ass when i got it back.
They are the only people that work on my 1.8T mk1 rabbit and mkV GTI. They have always been very honest with me.

Awesome... this is the info I was looking for!! :thumbsup:
The control unit has a remote sensor. Tap into the vac line as normal, and connect that to the sensor that sits in your engine bay (well, that's where I've put it in my car, makes more sense). Then run the data wire from the sensor to the Control Unit II in the car.
The Defi Blue Racers don't require a Control Unit, but I believe the sensor operates in the same way.
