Exclamation Where to find (gauges)!!!!!!

After putting in my digital dash logger , all my other autometer analoug gauges seemed really out of place , so I'v decide to go with only digital gauges, the logger lights up in a nice blue , so I also want the gauges to match this . Apart from the logger , I will be using the Innovate XD1 for a/f ratio and a dual SPA egt gauge for exhaust temp monitoring . I have been searching high and low for a 60MM DIGITAL boost gauge with BLUE backlighting ! has anyone come across a gauge like this before ? I found a few that fit the discription , except that they were 52 mm , instead of 60mm and dual instead of single , Please help !

The new PLX iMFD will work:

http://plxdevices.com/products_iMFD.htm

The gauge display is actually a small LCD monitor and can be programmed to display anything, inluding digitial readouts. You can also change the background to be any color as well as the digital readout colors. Hence, you can have blue backlighting.

The cool thing about the display is you can daisy chain multiple sensor modules to work with a single gauge so you can cylce thru multiple readouts on a single gauge.

I've just installed this unit on my car and when I get the car back from otham next week, I'm planning on doing a write up on this device.

if you're willing to settle for 52mm gauges instead of 60, Defi has "Blue Racer" gauges that will match quite well and looks really clean w/ nice font for the numbers. tons of vendors sell them. I got my whole set off ebay cuz it was a really good deal that i couldn't pass up.

Nice product ! but what do the prices look like ? I had already settled on these from Dakota Digital , http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...5&autoview=sku . They are nicely priced and fit my criteria !

Yes, they are pretty cool. I get them (and the rest of my car) back this Saturday. Gotham Racing selles them:

http://www.gothamracing.com/catalog/...9f8593ee4fdbb3

The display unit sells for about $250. You'll only need one though as it hooks up to multiple sensor modules. Each sensor module is about $90 so they're more expensive than the Dakota Digital ones but not crazy high. I got the display unit, and boost, EGT, water, and oil sensors. I also bought the stand alone AFR unit.

The prices arent bad at all ....... I think you've convinced me ! Question , can one gauge display information from two modules at the same time ? like the SPA dual gauges can.

They can display up to 4 at a time, though their examples show the multiple gauges only in digital form. Get the brochure from plxdevices.com:

I'm also considering this, or one from Zeitronix
