I like the idea of multi clusters... it makes packaging your gauges allot easier. But I'd say away from most anything that has "type-whatever" on it or "JDM" when it's not from an REAL JDM manufacture.

And that one looks cheap... ramdomly placed lights? You also have to think about the sensors, etc that will be needed to make the gauges work. And you'll have to ask yourself do you really trust something like that to be accurate... my money would say no.

If you want a tachometer I just got a new ISSPRO 2inch one, 6k RPM limit, though. Really that's where the stock ignition starts to die anyway...

While the multi-gauge may be nice package, wouldn't trust cheap gauges for my engine. I'm sure you really need the boost gauge too, lol.

Top extra gauge is a boost gauge, in bars. Since it goes from 0-7 bar, and has no mm/hg reading, it's boost only, no vacuum. 1 bar is over 100 psi, somebody is having a wet dream with that pos.

Edit, snap, went back and looked at it again, just noticed the oil hiding under the needle. Got caught again, lol. Also noticed the bottom one is for temp. Can't win tonight. Need to quit staying up for 48 hours at a stretch.

Not trying to call you out again man, but 1bar = 14.7psi again 1bar is one atmo' of pressure.

Sweet dreams man.

Can I see a picture that show it also more with the dash instead of closer. I am just curious of how you have it set if this is your setup. I want to replace my RMP with a nice tach but every model I like is very expensive. hehe, I will not be getting anything, any time soon.
