Or you could fix the issue with the gauges...

Typically the boost gauge messes up because of a split vacuum line coming out of the plenum of dry-joint in the MAP sensor (about 30 seconds to fix).

The factory MAP sensor itself is surprisingly accurate, it's just a shame the gauge itself doesn't display particularly accurately because it's not linear and doesn't have adequate markings.

The voltage gauge shouldn't break, and the oil temp sensor would only require a new sender (should be easy enough to pick up).

yes it is only the boostgauge that is playing up...

have been told that this section of dash in the non turbo is not removable..??? its built in???

just after a different look for the car...

For legality, keep the guage pods and throw aftermarket guages in them.

Just waiting on mine to rock up to cop the Defi treatment :P

Yeah as jrm said.. it's probably not the gauge that's broken..

And if you really want to change.. I said the whole dash... So take your whole dash off.. and replace it with the N/A dash..

Why waste that money when you can buy some guages that are actually accurate (the stock ones are f*cking rubbish) and just fit them to the spot provided.

Each to their own, but seems like you're looking at it all wrong.

Someone will definitely swap you your dash for their NA one though, coz they're so much better.

Alternatively, you could get the flip-up for navigation version of the middle dash piece here, take out the display and glue it down.. Then mount whatever gauges you wanted on top... probably easier than using the N/A version ..

Hey mate, not sure why you would do this - I would just replace the gauges with aftermarket ones.

If you are 100% certain you want to do it I have changed from the 'pop-up screen' to the 3 gauge cluster with my own gauges in it. When I imported the car I had the pop-up screen option except there was no screen in there so effectively its just a replacement panel if that makes sense. You are welcome to have it and just give it a lick of paint then fasten your 3 freestanding gauges onto it.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
