Does anyone know if they are available and any feedback. I haven't been able to find anything on the net. Mounting a round guage in the 80 Series is posing a problem. I ma hoping a digital one will be flat?

Any help appreciated

Perhaps if you tried spelling it correctly you might have better luck ;) I know everyone says spelling doesn't really matter, it's all in the intent but if you can't spell then don't expect a search to work as well.

I was looking at getting a few digital gauges a few years ago, I cant find the link anymore but found this instead http://www.turbobits.co.uk/acatalog/dig ... gauge.html I have no idea about quality etc, but they are quite pricey.

The one thing that changed my mind about digital VS analog was that everything I read about digital gauges was bad, mainly because of the number on the display jumping around a lot, where on a analog gauge even if boost i varying quickly is it easy to see what is happening at a glance.

Digital gauges are far slower to respond and therefore they become difficult to interpret at a glance. You actually need to focus on the gauge and read it. You'll find it difficult. Had Digi gauges in an off road buggy, Ditched them after the first race.
Analogue gauges are much better as you can tell at a glance the region the needle is in.
You'll probably regret going digital.

All the info ruffy provides is sound. I have spent the last couple of days driving (not really the right word) a current model Yaris hatch and the digtial instruments are a complete PITA. They are 1000% slower to read.
