Been thinking about buying one of these:
http://www.scangauge.com.au/
Want something small (preferably to fit in single din hole under cd player)
I couldn't find any better alternative, ECU data scan looks good but is also a lot more expensive and a bigger unit.
Pretty much only going to use it for boost, ave speed etc. but i dont like the look of boost gauges,
Let me know what you guys think,
Tom

If you get one that matches the factory dials and put it on the steerin column (like i did) you can't really see it from outside and it blends in with the other guages when driving....
....just a thought.

It's not "perfect" but pretty darn close i reckon, I didn't cut (except the vacuum hose) or drill anything when installing it... double sided tape FTW (or hot glue gun if your Alex and like playin with warm sticky stuff 
)
)

This is my Set-up.
You can see the speed up to about 140kph Faster than you should be going anyway!
It's nice and discrete and i like the look of it.
I just screwed a self tapping screw through the plastic, so there will be a hole there when if taken off.
I tried double sided tape, but it looks messy to me and never really held on properly.
Get a smoked face gauge, to match the B4 dash when it goes off.

If it's broke use a cable tie.
