Hi

I am looking to fit an oil pressure gauge using the existing sender. I can find 52mm VDO gauges which I am happy with, I will have to make a new centre console board to fit it.

Question is do I need 0-5 bar or 0-10?

Cheers

Ben

Just a heads up that you will benefit greatly from a boost/buck controller:

The gauges are only accurate at ~14V and don't compensate for voltage fluctuations. Mine would show 0 PSI with the headlights on! All my gauges are powered off a similar boost converter now.
