It's really really simple. It's only 4 wires to actually wire. Light source, 12v+ ignition, 12v+ power, ground.

Under the dash is a fuse box that has places that you can connect some male connects into (no shielding). If you look, you'll probably see it. It has a light 12v+, 12v+ignition, 12v+ always on, and then just connect the ground.

I'll try and search around for a picture of what I'm talking about.

The sensors are just regular sensors you put on. They are just like any other gauges. The whole process is really simple.

You daisy chain the gauges together. (You will see a total of 3 connectors on the back of the gauge. One of them has 2 together and another all the way on the top). You connect one wire to the pair, then one out to the next gauge.

controller--> gauge1--> gauge2--> gauge3....etc

Carlo, why do you need exhaust gas temps?

I'm looking at adding some of those as well, what gauges would be the best to add?

Also, where's a good place to get the A-Pillar Gauge Pods?

Because DEFI doesnt make A/F gauges in BF Imperials.

DJFriar: I would look at Science of Speed for thier a-pillar pod

So EGT is a good estimate of A/F ratios?
