Default New Multi-Gauge

I ordered this kit from Zada-Tech back in 2022 (around $400 US) and finally had a free weekend to install it. I'm pretty happy with the results, as it gives me everything I need in a small footprint. I had to add a pressure and temperature sensor to an
Oil Filter Sandwich Plate Oil Filter Sandwich Plate
, and a temperature sensor to the inline thermostat housing. All in it took me about 5 hours being careful and soldering every connection. One note; they don't sell a housing for the display, so I had to design and print my own.

Slick! Reminds me alot of the Zeitronix gauge that I wanted for my 944 turbo.

On the D2 I went with auber gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature and voltage. Programming the gauges and creating the wiring harness was its own project and I removed the cup holder under the hvac controls and had a simple bracket fabbed to mount the gauges.

Nice. I thought about those but went this other direction.
If I can get a data cable long enough, I plan to install it in the overhead console replacing the sunroof switches.

Quite expensive for a display and a micro controller board that you get for about $20 bucks.

I assumed it was a typo for $40 . But I'm noticing you have a mounting plate on the dash above where the radio sits. Where did you get it/make it?
