Default Gauge install

Does anyone here have experience in installing gauges? I need some one to install this for me. It is a boost and oil pressure gauge.

do i smell a tech day?

both are pretty simple. but, I've done a few gauge installs:




some tips:
- build a quick disconnect harness so when you remove the pods, you can just quickly disconnect it without having to yank wires.
- test the gauges before doing any wiring.
- plan out exactly which wires you wanna tap and a routing schematic so you know exactly where you want everything to go.
- shrink tubing
- soldering
- the shorter the tubing for the boost gauge, the more accurate...
- try to use some high quality tubing for the boost gauge, otherwise the tubing could melt in the vegas sun

about it...

if you want help or a harness built, let me know...
