Boost & Oil pressure gauges

Boost & Oil pressure gauges

Postby that1mexguy » Wed Sep 07, 2005 3:18 am

Hey guys, how hard is to install/wire some gauges (boost, oil pressure, air, etc.) Is it something that can be DIY in a matter of hrs? any special tools needed? any tips? anything in particular to look for? I'm looking into getting a boost & oil pressure gauges and since i've never installed one i wanted to see if this is something i could do myself.. thanks!

Not really. There isn't a place to hook one up. I had to install a cooler to have a place to put the sending unit.

have you ever seen what goes into a mechanical oil pressure gauge??? lots of crappy hoses (nylon) and copper fittings, which suck at sealing up right
