Default Gauge Installation

im getting ready to install some gauges before i go f/i later this summer. figured i could hook em up while i have the time. im going with auto meter ultra-lite wideband a/f(expensive, i know), fuel pressure(electric if i can find one), and boost gauge. getting the auto meter center dash pod too. i think i can get my a/f installed at my local shop cuz it requires cutting and welding with a bung so i def cant do it myself. im not sure however, where to T into a vacuum line for the boost gauge. Also where do i run my fuel pressure line? other than those small inquiries, i just need a 12v source that only turn on when i have my car turned on. I want em all to start up automatically as soon as i turn the key and shut off when i turn it off.. any help would be greatly appreciated. pics would be nice!

i wired mine in to the fuel pump reset button.


run your wire from your mount under the dash down the drivers side.

take your kick panels off and youll see the 2 wires. i think its the green wire? i dunno test it and find out.


tap in to that with 6inches of wire, inline fuse, then the wire to the gauges.

I read the instructions that came with the pod, ran all the gauge wires thru the defroster vent like you do with the CDC pod. Installed a junction box on the firewall under the dash behind the glovebox for all the gauge connections along with an analog din pigtail for datalogging the wideband with my SCT.

wow, ive been looking at the dash pods for a while, but i had no idea they sat up so high. i guess to fit 2 1/16 thats what it needs. i think it looks pretty cool actually. i might have to get some gauges on my mod list now.( trying to keep up with burnrubber4.0)
