Help with Gauge Install

Hey,

Is anyone willing to help install boost/EGT/oil pressure gauges on my A-pillar? I had cheapo gauges installed and want to replace them, but dont know how to go about doing so, and am not that confident in removing my dash and everything to get to the firewall. (Located in the East Bay but can meet up)

thanks

You do need to get all contortionist to route the wires around the pedal box though.

And it can be a beezy to thread the wires through the seam between the a pillar and dash.

I'd help but I've got major refinement projektz for my fmicturbo wtfbbq inlet.

dashes are easy to install. Just drink a few beers and hit that!

This advice is applicable to so many scenarios!!

A-pillar installation is pretty easy, once you get it off you can see how to route the wire, but if you want someone to do it, shoot me a PM and we can discuss a price.
