Defi Gauges Install Question
I'm sure everyone here is familiar with their product and I am aware that the Awron vent gauge exists but I wanted to keep it traditional so to speak. Question is has anyone here installed a mechanical boost and oil pressure gauge? I know it's been done often on the older E9X platform for both M3's and 335's. Any tips of guidance will be appreciated before I start taking things apart...

For analog gauges, you will need to drill/tap a pressure sensor into the charge pipe as well as use a distribution block needed for the oil feed. This is custom, so you won't likely find anything on the market quite yet.

ER charge pipes have bungs already pre-installed, you can always upgrade the Charge Pipes (recommend for any modded platform) and utilize one of those.

Thanks Tom, I just spoke with Evasive and they told me to talk to you guys about install questions because they referenced their info on the Awron vent gauge.

Just recommending best path if modding. No reason to do the same job twice.
If you're in the area anytime soon - you can see it in action on our shop M4.

I've seen it on Brandon's M4(factory rep), I like it but as I said I wanted to keep things traditional and old school I guess, and figured blue gauges would be tits.
