The EV2 boost gauges use an electronic sensor so no boost tube. It will go in the AIH delete plug in the spider.

Drill and tap are included in the kit.

I helped another FTE member (Lloydable) with his four gauge Isspro's last fall and he ordered everything from Clay. We had miles of wire left over. It would have made it to the overhead console with ease.

Well met with Wes on Saturday morning to knock out this gauge install and had a great time. All went smooth right up to me putting the pyrometer wires on backwards. Then 45 minutes trying to figure out if I blew the bulbs in the gauges because they would not light up. Wes you know if you turn that **** all the way to the right they light up beautifully. At 65 mph my boost is about 2-3 lbs Is that right??I did get on it one time in 100perf and got about 18 out of it. They look real nice above the mirror, The only wires that had to be lengthened was the transmission. I met a great guy (429-f100) that helped me get it together. Thanks for all the input, Wes and I were talking about this site being the best on the web, Oh I know we did not do anything unless there are pictures to prove it. As soon as I can figure out this camera I will be posting it



Joe

looks good joe even better lit up! you should be getting more than that 2-3 were you wide open? i would think that you could get 18 stock and more with the tuner.i had 5 in the shop in park.

looks good, one question i have is where did you mount your control box for tranny and boost. no one ever post pics of this part of the installation, i currently have mine mounted inside the cab under the dash even though the instructions say to mount it to the inner fender.

Mine runs 2-3 at 65mph, I got 18 out of in in 100 perf. Seems like i should be getting a little more. I might need to do a boost test. I did notice after i left your shop I had to floor it to get it going. Seems like after i pressed it a sec. then it would boost up like it had a delay or something. It felt different. Your pullers were left in the console. 3404 Neuse blvd. right? They will be in the mail.

yea joe , 3404 neuse blvd new bern nc 28560. its possible the aih delete plug is leaking but i wouldnt think so. the oring seemed kinda skinny and i did lube it before i put it on . i would think mabey your other boots on the intake tubes and spider since they have never been cleaned .get up to 45 put in third and hammer it , it should build to at least 18 if you hold it long enough. thanks wes
