Aftermarket gauges

[joshtexican]

Can anyone point me in the direction on how to install aftermarket- boost, oil pressure, and temp gauges on a 7mgte?? As far as connecting them (wiring/hoses or whatnot)

I have a 86.5 mk3 and I am dropping a 90 7mgte motor in. I am going to keep the stock gauges in place and install the gauges on a separate pod

Thanks a lot guys, I am almost ready to drop the rebuilt motor in my car and I am going to install these gauges while I am waiting on a few parts.

are your gauges electric or analog? if they are analog you will
boost- run a vac line into your car attach to gauge and manifold vac make sure to secure lines
oil psi- run the vinyl hard line to your gauge from a t fitting where your stock oil psi sender is
temp- attach sensor to thermostat housing (thats where i put mine) and install the gauge the best place ive found for wires going into the car is where the speedo cable enters the car directly behind the engine
all gauges probably have to run to power and ground the 3 of them should be able to run off of the ign fuse or cig lighter fuse
if your gauges are electric it will be the same except instead of running hard lines you will run wires if they have a 5v reference it is for data logging and if your not tuning or logging you dont need them

I will definitely make use of this info. I dont have the gauges yet but I will prob get analog gauges.
