Boost and oil pressure gauge

Ok, who has installed the boost and oil pressure gauge that sits on either side of the tach? I am very tempted but wary of the install procedures.

If you want more information in the same amount of space, SPA gauges might be an alternative. Each unit is two gauges in one 52mm housing. Downside - cost - these units were developed for F1 and indi cars. However, as each gauge costs only about what the two gauges it replaces do, it's not a bad deal. The color is also a correct match for the interrior lighting.
These gauges look good in the standard mini gauge console (part# 82-94-0-015-951 avail from your dealer for around $45,)
I am currently developing a console that these gauges look like art in. It will fit the interrior of the car, and look like it should have always been there. Will post pics, pricing/ordering info when done.

Joe, when you have your console complete, please do share! The Spas look nice, but I still prefer the analog sweep movement for these 2 gauges... just easier/quiker to see at a glance. But if the F1 guys use them
