Yay 3 gauge panel



Nah it does hurt the guage its electric, beside it runs at (just changed my
PSi to BAR guage today) at 4.5 Bar while driving, and drops to 2.5K at 1K
rpm.

Nice to have them Audi GT guages (volts, Oil Pressure, Oil temp, now to find
a water temp from an audi to replace and all my gauges will match

=>That's about 1.25 bar... sound right from my old 8V days.
