woo. boost gauge installed..

[SuperSpud]

yup.. me and reagen (equinox) just got done installing my boost gauge.. we installed it in my center consol.. it looks REALLY good.. it took us about 3 hours though.. the only problem we had was with the TINY hose that comes with the auto meter gauges.. its like a plastic hose, that is 1/8" so its hard to "T" it from the vacume lines... but yeah, after that was solved, everything else just came into place...

I will have pix sooner or later, I need to go back and zip tie the wires that I ran through my center console...

Which Auto Meter gauge did you get? I want the Ultra-Lite gauges. Just wondering what they look like at night...

 

[SuperSpud]

yeah, ultra lite.. b/c they match my gauges in my car... it looks good at night.. the orange light around the outside of the gauge... just like our gauges..

 

[InsidiousMSP]

Sounds good.

With the right fittings, it is a snap to install- plug it righ in .

he ran the electric wires into the engine bay and tapped into the lights... not sure exactly which or where,, he did all that,, I just did the hoses..the gauge light is on when my headlights are.. it really worked out nice.. now,, I just need to go through it all and "tidy" it up a bit.. I didnt exactly mount the gauge where I wanted it, its kinda in the middle of my center console compartment, I wanted it against the wall.. I'll see what I can do..

PICs would be great.

Someone should do a step by step guide for a few different gauges on the MSP. I know it's simple, but some other folks might not find it to be.
