Ryan,

I think I measured and found that there isn't enough space for 3 52mm gauge's to fit side by side. But I'd like to be proven wrong

Ryans MK2 GTI

I was trying to prove you're wrong -> golf-center-console | Turbocharged 16 valves

but eventually perfer to have guages in ash tray location.

[ryana89]

So I guess 3 across fit quite nicely (nice interior/setup in that car too might I add)
I would happily use the ash tray, buuuut it holds all the screw/bolts/pieces that fall from my car

I'd like too see your set-up (entire car) at nationals.

I think mine suffers from the same use of the ash tray, lol.

I was planning a three gauge install with some gauges I had lying around from an Alfa we used to own.

Test run it will put it back in car soon.

nice one, looks reasonable.

(very mk 1 GTI inspired)

Put it back now still haven't connect the oil pressure sensor and wire though.
I'm a bit disappointed with the temp gauge illumination, also has similiar issue that Ryan had, voltmeter only shows 12.x volt. Probably need to pull it out again and run a wire directly from battery to accurately monitor alternator output.

New parts arrived, going to be a busy weekend

Supporting the A/C compressor is the most annoying part.
Or did you get rid of it? It's not a bad job either way.
