Since BMW decided to not put gauges in our car , we seem to be left with very few after market options . I would prefer to a tradtional round gauge vs the scan gauge II or a smart phone app. I have been looking at the N-gauges from Craven . Any feed back on these ? Or would a tradtional plumbed gauge be better ?
Last I heard the N-gauges were backordered.... But check with Craven on a current status... What specifically are you wanting to monitor...
I put traditional gauges in my MINI, with buying all the gauges, senders and adaptors, it cost about the same as Craven's nGauges. The nGauges would be way easier to install too.
I would like to have Water , and Oil pressure but it looks like Oil pressure isn't an option at this time , so I would go with boost .
I've got the same basic set up that Dave posted... Water Temp, Oil Pressure and Oil Temp and Boost from Marshal. I like 'em.
Our OBDII gauges (no longer known as nGauge) are still between revisions, and I remain hopeful to have them soon...but it has been that way for almost a year now. When we do have them, Oil PSI should be an available option.
I have SPA technique gauges (oil & water temp, boost & oil pressure). I real like them. http://www.motoringalliance.com/gallery/data/737/Picture_261.jpg
I will say that Craven sells good stuff and they are nice people to deal with. They have always been great to me.
