    I have an 02 wrx and found a center gauge pack( boost/volts/temp) from an 04 wrx and I am wondering (seem to do that a lot) if it will work for me?
    Also was curious if a Tmic on the 04 is bigger/better than the 02's?

    Anybody out there have this knowledge floating around in their brain?
    Thanks
    Josh

    Gauges should work, what kind of cluster is it?

    tmic is the same. 04-07 STI intercooler is a hair more efficient and the 08+ sti tmic is larger...it can be fitted onto an 02, just takes some "modification"

    It is the oem gauge package that fits into where the clock on the top of the dash is.

    Where is a good place to look up part numbers to see if it matches? Sorry I suck at Google searches:facepalm:

    The gauge cluster will fit anything 02-07 brotha. I'd recommend holding off and getting an aftermarket one with 52mm gauges tho. ProSport are a good price and decent quality. Otherwise there is Autometer, Defi's, etc.

    The OEM ones(Lamco) are pretty lame fwiw. ;)

    Aftermarket gauges will be the same about of work, can choose what you want, and look better. Not a fan of the stock optional gauges.

    For the TMIC 02-05 are the same on the WRX.

    Call morries in minnetonka and he told me the gauges are only 40 or 45mm. So I'm going to look for aftermarket. Anyone buy/ use Glow shift gauges? Reviews seem pretty good.

    I haven't personally, but a handful of people on here have. ProSport Premiere would be my recommendation. Inexpensive, nice features, multiple colors, the entire gauge lights up red when you go into the warning zone. I have used them, they're dease!
