As the title, cant get my temp gauge to work on the dash but i know where the wire is from the ecu so it would be piss easy to wire up an aftermarket gauge... talking engine temp not air temp by the way, anyone got any pictures or any links would be great

look at the mocal gauges, they are pretty good, classy looking and well prices, i have the mocal water temp gauge in my car, lead to believe they are reasonably accurate aswell.... as for fitting it, well its a mechanical gauge so needed a sender plumbing in.... not sure if an electrical gauge would work off the standard wireing.
