Just out of interest, following the train of thought for setting up a light as an overboost warning, could you do the same for say oil temp? Set it up so that if oil temp goes over a certain amount it triggers a light to let you know? I did get berated for looking at running a boost gauge in my car,...

Yeah used to run my MX5 a little low sometimes out of laziness (cbf stopping anywhere to get petrol) and it would go a long while on E.

Not doing that in the turbo one though, chances are I'd hit boost and thats the tank emptied out in one go.

Yeah $600 sounds more like a normal price, I'll check with you in a few weeks on if you've still got them? Have to replace the clutch in the new car before I get pretty bits for it.

Not sure on pricing, what'd you pay for them? Only price I know is someone got a set new for $350 a few days ago, other than that haven't really paid attention to them.

+1 to this, except I found out after finishing work at 10. Cue panic because I didn't have any screwdrivers, somehow my team leader in a call centre had one at his desk. Saved my ass.
