Talking Guage install

I have all of my guages here,and wondering how long it should take. I know it depends on if every thing goes right.

HAHA!!! Maybe a CHIP will be in order (possibilty on order).

If your really good 4 hours. If it's your first time and you want them to look perfect, I agree with Suber, give yourself at least 8 hours.

I started late in the day in the garage with MANY beers and took a break that night and finished the next night with not as many beers. Darn near none. But I had 5 gauges that is what took me so long. Hmmmm???????????????

the boost and pyro are easy. not sure about the tranny.

the best instructions go to gts motorsports.com and gauge install. run your lights and pyro power off your 10 and 17 fuses with fuse taps. its pretty easy stuff.

Ditto on the boost line. The first time I installed mine I kinked the boost line and didn't realize it until I had everything back together.

Took me about 5 hours to install gauges on A pillar.

That included paint the pod mount to match and putting tans temp sensor in pressure port....
Took a brealk and took another hour to drill exhaust manifold for pyro probe..
All looks & works well....not in the dark anymore..
Oh...Boost gauge....If I can hear it singing ...it's working....right ?
