Theres a couple of things I need to sort before my car goes off for the conversion.
Need to find somewhere that does decent prices on them, but I also need to find some that will come with everything needed to fit!
Need -
Boost Gauge
Oil Temp
Oil pressure
And if anyone knows where to get the B-biller pod gauges from that would also be helpfull cheers.

On my 20XE Corsa B I had racetech gauges which did the job and were tasteful to an extent. Here is Oil Pressure and Oil Temp mounted:
For every gauge you will need a sender unit which can make things expensive, I got mine from these guys I think: http://www.raceparts.co.uk/racetech/instruments.htm

Get electric gauges, mechanic ones dont work off a sender IIRC so they involve alot more pipes and stuff.

you need:
Oil Pressure Gauge
0-8 BAR
Oil Temperature Gauge
0-150 C
Boost Gauge
-1 / +2.5 Bar
then following this thread:
http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/engines-transmission/171368-xe-let-oil-pressure-temp-senders-what-why-how-where.html
That will tell you where you can put the senders.
Get racetech's number from:
http://www.raceparts.co.uk/info/contact.htm
Ask for prices on all the gauges and then tell him you need senders for all, the bolt fitment for the block is M14.

On the site they have the M14 fitment for temperature gauage but not M14 for pressure only M10?
And what senders do you need for a boost gauge?

And By correct sandwhich plate, do you mean the pod holder?
I dont have a clue its not me who gonna be fitting it anyway I just need 3 gauges boost,oil temp, oil pressure and everything to get them to work lol.

I told them I needed M14 and I think they sold me a little step up adapter so one end was M10 where the sender bolted into and the other end was M14

a 3/5mm silicon hose from the engine bay (mines on BOV) to the back of the gauge
sandwhich plate - goes between oil filter and block , allows you to plug in 2 adaptors for pressure and temp senders to gauge
or you can get an adaptor from origal oil pressure switch which goes to the gauge from gaugeplace.com

That looks V nice although aren't the air/fuel ones not meant to be v accurate, a proper wideband controller (I think thats what they are called)would be better?
Ill let you know about the double pod holder as I think im gonna try and find a 3 if I can figure out what I need to buy to put in them
