Have you sat and idled for a long period of time? What kind of temps are you seeing then? My coolant temp is going up to 215 before the fan kicks in and cools it back down, which was worrying me since the fan is supposed to kick in on low at 206. I connected an OBDII tool to my car and the ProSport gauge is reading about 9-10 degrees higher than the OEM sensor is reading. I knew the ProSport gauges could be off a little, but I was under the impression they usually read lower than actual.
... reading about 160F driving around town with the outside temp of 28. Stops at red lights get about 180

Did you ground your water adapter?

I have not just sat and idled for a very long time but if i leave the car running in the garage for a bit I get as high as about 180-190F, mind you thats when it is 30*F outside, fan never kicks on so i know its not getting too hot, I'm sure i can get you some better readings once spring comes rolling around.

I have noticed that both my water and oil temp gauges drop 2-4 degrees when I turn the lights on. You seeing anything like that?

So its def not warm enough for me to really test out the temps of water, but to answer your other question, no I dont see any movement of my needles when i turn on my lights. Sounds like your grounds arent that strong.
Btw, how did you extend your touchpads? Did you just cut and extend or did you make an adapter of sorts.

Any chance you can edit your first post with a final parts list and maybe we can get this stickied for S2 owners!

Can anyone tell me where the Prosport gauges are made ? Good ol's US or overseas like Glowshift in Taiwan ? Coz i'm planning to get the digital series since the glowshift internal led's crap out way too fast ..

I edited my first post with the final parts list.
I will have to take a look when I get home, you can probably message Prosport here as well since they are active on the forums.

I cut and added wiring. The 4 wires inside the touchpad cabling are tiny, same gauge as telephone wire, so I ended up using telephone wires, connector and couplers to extend them. Super easy and will make disconnecting them easy if I need to pull my ashtray out for any reason.

). Yea i saw the wires, they are super tiny. I will have to swing by the store to pick up some butt end connectors.

Well finally after a day and a half of searching I got to see what I wanted, S2 with Prosport gauges
I took the long way instead of starting with google.
So after a year plus are the gauges still working great or have you had problems ie:sensors or their location . I'm thinking of going with the Evo gauges but haven't found any on a S2 as of yet
