Gauges

I need help with knowing what I need to get to install an oil pressure gauge, air/fuel ratio gauge & a boost gauge. Can anyone give me a list of needed items?

when you buy gauges, normally it would come with all the sensors and waht not. You can remove an oil gallery plug on the block to install the oil pressure sensor or buy a oil sandwich adapter that goes in between the oil filter and oil cooler. As far as boost gauge goes, you'll need a plastic T fitting and rubber line to route from the bpv hose to the gauge. and A/f gauge you'll need t-taps and some connectors.

I recommend getting Fuse Taps, some molex connectors(i bought some from Fry's), and wire so you can make your own gauge wiring harness easy to expand & retract.

What? So why do I do with the fuse taps and I'm guessing I just use the molex connectors as the wiring in between? Is this just to supply power to the gauges?

Tap into your fuse box unless you want to splice into the radio/Clock harness.
