Recently installed some gauges for my RAV4 to monitor oil temp and pressure as well as coolant temp. But it's mostly an aesthetic mod, will be useful when I autocross the car in December hopefully ! All that's left is to change out my brake pads and maybe some new tires. I've done some other mods like coilovers and adjustable endlinks. I'm trying to put together a turbo kit, but don't know what to do about for the ECU.

Fleeky Sky your gauges look very nice. Are they mechanical senders? If so, Would you care to share where how and where you connected so these measures could be read. Info is most appreciated!

They’re electronic, they have stepper motors in them that move accordingly. There is something called an oil filter sandwich adapter that goes between the oil filter and the threading for it. It has holes where you screw in the sensors that come with the gauges. You can screw in the oil pressure and oil temp sensors there. For coolant, there is a radiator hose attachment adapter, you cut where theres a straight in the upper radiator hose and slide it in. Using clamps to hold both ends, then the sensor screws in.
