can anyone install gauges$$
Wideband or narrowband air/fuel? What type of oil sender do you have? Galley plug or sandwitch plate? If you have a galley plug do you have the remote sending unit?
When were you looking to do this?

Okay, if you are getting wideband then you will need to enlist the services of a welder or shop to put in a wideband 02 bung after the last bend in your downpipe. Then, if all you want is oil pressure, get the galley plug and remote sending unit from prosport as well, makes the install much cleaner. When you have all that stuff, putting it all together is easy. You will probably speak with Ryan when you call up prosport, he can answer any questions about these items so ask!

if you have a fmic, should be easy to get to. i was just looking at the pic on the prosport site, and it looks like the galley plug they're showing is by the turbo outlet, which means to get to it, you'd have to take off the tmic. but since you don't have one, you're half way there. whoa, livin on a prayer!

I'd recommend you purchasing this item from prosport: http://prosportgauges.com/subaru-oil-galley-plug.aspx
Above is the 1/8NPT adapter I'll need to install your oil pressure sending unit into the oil gallery port that replaces the plug that was previously there.
here is the location of the oil gallery plug/port that you'll need to remove in order to install the adapter mentioned above.
I'll also need wire taps, zip ties
where do you live?
did you buy the premium gauges or did you buy the performance gauges? The sending units are different on the oil pressure gauges. The premium series has a smaller sending unit whereas the performance series has a larger one which may not fit in that area.
If you have the performance gauges then you'll need one of these due to the larger sized sending unit that is supplied: http://www.wrxtra.com/catalog/produc...products_id=34
