ahs anybody removed the stock gauges out of the cluster and replaced them with aftermarket ones using the stock back plate?
i was think about doing this to my T2 and swapping the useless stock boost/oil pressure/temp.
i will try and attach a pic of what i am think about doing..
once i get around to photoshopping it.

 

i found a 3rd gen with this done but no 2nd gens

 

here is the photoshop pic

 

i will be doing that after christmas, i'll keep you updated. but as for now.... no pics... sorry -_-

 

I've thought about it, but haven't gotten around to trying it.

 

That looks pretty good but is there enough room behind the cluster for the gauges to fit?I have never taken out the cluster so I wouldnt know.

 

i will be looking for a guage cluster @ a scrap yard to check and see if i can change the guages out.

do any of the gauges interface to the ECU?
if so are other water temp/oil pressure gauge sensors correct in sending the correct voltage for the correct ecu expectations.
