Default Oil temp and boost gauge for G6ET

Hey guys, thanks for looking after me on Friday, your service and advice was excellent!
Thinking of aftermarket oil temp and boost gauges for my G6ET. Is this something you would be interested in? Can you estimate costs involved? Would this be practicable? Many thanks for your advice.

The only problem with the FG dash there is no best location for the gauges ..

Some poeple complain they sit too high if they are fitted above the ICC and other dont like them on the "A" pilar .. its really up to you in your preferances.

Oil temp gauge is very inportant as most people dont realise how long it actually takes for the car to get to temp before yuo should try giving it a boot full. As it takes over double the time for the oil temp to come up compaired to water temp...

Can you fit a FPV instrument cluster into a G6ET?

I knew I had that gauge for a reason! So in the unlikely event that I want to give it a boot full I'll know if I can or not.

Theo, do you know what normal oil operating temp is for a G6ET?
