Thanks for posting Sparky. Like I said, this may be the cure-all we have been looking for.
I will be rewiring tonight and trying. Will post up results.

Looking forward to hearing your results! Does anyone know if the WRX and STI have the same fuse box?

That would be nice to see. And the back of the fuse box cover (the label that shows what all the fuses are).

I am going to be tapping my Prosport Premium's off of the Meter IG #5 and LampIG #18.
The fuse taps i bought from Ebay require both fuses though apparently, so 2 10a fuses in each tap and i should be good to go. I just have to extend my ground lead and ground it out. |

my question is about the dimmer switch, there is no way to adjust the brightness? |

Crap XLuben, crap, lol.
I didn't get to try changing mine but it seems like it would not matter now? I cannot imagine them using a different fuse block but there are some differences in the models. |

I'm completely new to gauge installation on my WRX, I'm ordering my clustermaker soon and hadn't heard anyone mention an oil temp/pressure solution like this:
http://prosportgauges.com/oil-filter-adaptor-plate.aspx Just wondering if there was any reason to not use this adapter, figured it would keep my stock warning light working and a little extra layer of warranty BS avoidance from the dealer. |

Had I not had the Defi gauge with the correct fitting I still would have purchased a galley plug and ran it that way. I would not want to add the ability for a sandwich to fail when you can get a direct reading off of the block. my $.02 I am sure there are thousands out on the roads. |

^The downsides are extra connections (more points of possible failure/leakage) and the slight lowering of the oil filter, which may or may not be a concern.
Personally, I like using the galley plugs on the block and there's no reason to keep the oil pressure dummy light sensor, but it's an easy spot to get to for an aftermarket sender. I found that the rear galley plug is a royal PITA to get to on the newer cars. My 05 wrx was pretty easy, but I had to remove the throttle body on my STi just to get enough room to take more crap out of the way. The only reason I got it done was sheer force of will, but I nearly gave up a few times and twisted the crap out of my allen wrench. Then there's the whole debate on where it's best to read oil temps: through the galley plugs, the pan or the filter adapter... |

I am having a bitch of a time with the rear galley plug. I had to end up buying a 3/8 drive 10mm ratchet socket with some extensions up to a 1/2in drive. Will be trying to crack that open this weekend.
On another note, with my Prosports, in order to stop the beeping during the opening ceremony, i had to tap the red power off of the Door Lock #3 and kept the amber in IG #18. It now remembers that i turned the beep off as the door lock has constant power. |

^I think it's an 8mm hex. I had to use vice grips on mine to get some leverage, but I also sprayed some PB blaster on there. That might help you out as well.
After pulling the throttle body off, I disconnected the water line that connects next to that plug to get more room. Be warned, it will drip and if you touch any water hose it will squirt, but it's SOOO much easier to get in there once that's out of the way. |

I installed my prosport gauges last night. Couple things I ran into.
My oil pressure gauge was too big (too deep) to fit into either side. I actually cut a portion of the gauge off with a hack saw in the back. If you look at how the pods are shaped, the rear of the pod is cut at an angle. This did not allow my gauge to be pushed the hole way in. I also had a sandwich adapter for the oil pressure gauge. This does not work on a 2011 WRX. The sending unit ProSport sent with the kit was too large in diameter and hit the block when I tried to install it. When I wired the Prosport gauges I put the constant 12 volt wires (red wires on gauges) in IG2. Maybe I had it wired wrong but when I put them in the Door Lock fuse port the lights in the gauges were always on. I also put the orange illumination wires in fuse port ILM. I was not worried about the sweep. One thing I did notice was my gauges got brighter when you turned the lights on which is the way it's supposed to work but when you turn the lights off they did not go back to the dimmer setting. Anybody else had these issues with the ProSport gauges? Last edited by turboman38; 08-10-2011 at 10:00 AM. Reason: spelling |

If I have to guess it is the performance gauge series which has the old stepper motors making the Gauges longer then 2". Please clarify. |
