dammn man its easy as, looks like some installers want to take u for a ride... such an easy job

meh for that price I'd get them to do it.

You have to:

attach senders (2x oil, 1x water). boost is probably not electrical so you need to run boost line

run wires through to dash

find power and headlight power

mount/install into the dash somehow

make sure there are no leaks or interferance.

For those that have done it themselves....how long did it take? I took say 2 hours per guage and had lots of trouble placing the oil senders - which makes $90ea a bargain really.

the oil senders are pretty easy with a sandwich plate, water can be tapped off elsewhere

wires through dash is easy if you know where to shove em

always easy to find power mang

tape, mount, wedge to dash

my first boost gauge was a pain but when i put oil temp and press it was easy as!

Ed - Im looking at getting an oil temp gauge so I'll keep you in mind!

Just dont know where to get it mounted - I like it out of sight.....maybe replace my ashtray?

Has anyone got a gauge where their ash tray used to be?

Cheers,
