Arrow 3 completely unrelated questions i post at once to save everyones time

OK
1)it may seem ricey to some but has anyone here ever used a co2 sprayer on their radiator or intercooler. It seems like a functional and legitimate piece of equpiiment, especially on our high temperature cars but i never see it used, only in ads.

2)is there any way to reverse the locations of the stock guages? I have a s4 cluster and i am planning to put the indiglo overlay on top of it but i can only find the indiglo in s5 which has the fuel and oil temp guages reversed. The guage ranges seem identical but i have no knowledge of how they each translate sensor data into what i see so i dont know if they can be interchanged. i thought about completely pulling out the physical guage and needle and just reversing positions but i dont know how their secured so i will have to wait and see. meanwhile ill ask.

3) i had a third in my head on the way home but i forgot ti when i began to type, so another time....

Waste of time and money, especially if they really said "radiators".

I do not recommend tampering with the instrument cluster, as the needles need to be pulled off.

Try using more descriptive subject lines - you get better reponses.

1) I don't see the point. If that's really needed it would be better just to upgrade what you have.

2) Yeah, just open it up and move around some wires. Oh, and for Ted, that was sarcasm .
