Well just installing the gauges you could do yourself for free, it's easy as.

$6000 would include the cost of turbocharging your engine so as to actually make a boost gauge useful.

*EDIT* I am assuming your car is non-turbo considering you posted this in the naturally aspirated section...

Yeh my advice would be to install it yourself mate. The hardest part is finding a place in the firewall to feed the wires. It's so easy to do, it really isn't worth paying ~$150-$200 to get someone to do it for you

well then make sure you don't let your mate anywhere near your car.

for the water temp gauge you need to make sure you have the temp sender that goes with the gauge. without it it won't work. also you will need an adapter to put it into the radiator hose.

boost gauge is very easy to do. only slightly hard bit is wiring up the lights, but you could always just run all the hose through so the gauge works and then just take it to an auto electrician and them them to sort out the wiring. should only take them a few mins and not cost much at all.

      No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!

      Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      By Apache23 · Posted

      Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
