Silinc3r Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 So bought a DEFI triple gauge pack for my 2005 LGT. Same as the STi just didn't want a little boost gauge so wet with the standard DEFI triple pack. I have the instructions with the Japanparts kits and one from DEFI but I need clearer instructions. There are no picture instructions that I can find on this forum and if there was/is the photos are no longer good. I have already broke the screw insert for the top of the vents, so don't want to break anything else. Maybe I have the wrong or early upper center console piece. Pictures to come Here are the instructions for the STI turbo gauge pack Silinc3r's 05 SWP GT/Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silinc3r Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Here is the kit http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1343.jpg Here you can see the piece I broke and how it interfers with one another http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1346.jpg Where my finger is, you can see there is a clip on the vent instead of the insert as well as where the center piece can be screwed in. Mine does not have that. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1348.jpg Silinc3r's 05 SWP GT/Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silinc3r Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 STI turbo gauge pack: H0010AG000/H0010AG100:Legacy/Outback turbo model (2005-) The one I bought H0017AG920/H0017AG926 No other info in regards to model I am wondering if there is actually a difference in the brackets. Though they look the same on both manuals, maybe they are slightly different. The STi manual never shows the triple pack being installed. The manual I have does show it. Here you can see where it shows to install the anchor plates but I dont have the place to install them. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1344.jpg I was able to fix the issue with the face plate not seating into the vent face. Took a dremel to it. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1354.jpg So the lower holes for the bracket are there as shown in the photo but the upper ones are not. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1357.jpg Here you can see the issue. Doesnt sit flush and there is a gap http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1356.jpg Silinc3r's 05 SWP GT/Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silinc3r Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 So, like not even one person? Silinc3r's 05 SWP GT/Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Looks like the brackets in the STi kit would have been what you want (they don't have the upper mounting hole). Is the issue the bracket is leaning too far forward because there is no upper attachment point? Or is it just too low in the opening? If it's the former, you'll probably need to fabricate something - if it's the latter, if you slot the holes in the bracket, you should be able to raise it up a bit (I'd add lockwashers if you do that so that the bracket doesn't slide down with vibration during driving) USDM and JDM interiors are not necessarily the same, even if they look similar (ran into that with my 5th gen and the trim around the shifter) Also - the link in your first post is broken (missing a colon).

Silinc3r Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Well I tried the lower holes but then it was to high. I think I may have gotten it. Tried again and it seemed like it fit so maybe I was just being over dramatic. I'll post updates this week when I get some more time to figure it out.

DrD123 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was thinking just modifying the holes you are using now and making them into slots to allow you to raise the bracket a little bit (basically, just elongating the holes) - glad to hear you got it sorted out!

Holla Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The usdm oem kit screws right in, prefect fit in my 05'. Looks like your brackets are slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silinc3r Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Alright, got it to work. Just had to spend more time with it. Just a matter of messing around with it. Silinc3r's 05 SWP GT/Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
