Need some help installing gauges

hey everyone i was hoping that someone maybe in the san jose area could help me install a boost,oil pressure,and water temp in a clock pod i would just do it myself but im not really to sure on how to wire everything up. i could pay you in cash or food and beer and some 420 or whatever you want. i just dont want to have to pay a shop to do it. im located near alum rock area.

thanks

what kind of gauges are you running? what is your tool situation? what type of set up do you want to run on your oil pressure gauge? galley plug or sandwich adapter?

im using some glowshift gauges that i had in my gsx. im to strapped for cash to buy new ones when these work just fine. i do have an oil sandwich that i was gonna use but ive been reading mixed things about them. some say they leak others say they are just fine. i could use either way i dont mind. im gonna be flashing to stage 2 soon so i need some gauges in there.

No it's not. Use a galley plug under the intercooler for temp and pressure in the dummy switch location under the alternator. Sandwiches tend to leak etc. hence I didn't plug mine in my thermostat adopter.

I decided that it would be too much of a PITA to get to the galley plug and opted for a sandwich. Haven't had any problems.
