Where To Get Guages Installed

I am purchasing the defi guages and I am questioning where to get them installed since I do not have the confidence to do it myself.

18hr's house. You'll have to ask him if he's got the space available.

Hey, Sean. Will you be done with the 240 by this weekend? If not, I'll come over and help (by trying to stay out of the way)

well you could do it yourself (to save money) or you can wait until we have the next "Install Day" (whenever that will be) so you can meet everyone and get your ish installed

I have a Fluke (multimeter)

and have been known to wire up a few things. Save your cash and ask for help. Plenty of it here.

Question

Gauge installs are no problem just need some more info......

What kind of gauges are they, EGT, Boost, Temp, Pressure???

Digital or mechanical?

Do you have everything for the install?

Do you know where you want them installed in the car?

Someone host an install day. Preferrably after I take my finals, which is after the 16th.

i-club is the place to get stuff installed. Just get ready for an ALL-DAY event no matter what you want installed. Sometimes it takes a while, what with all the BBQ'ing and BS'ing going on. You'll have a good time.

Just remember that just because the guy helping with the install had a beer or two, he is VERY competent.

You should have a good time and get some good work done, too.

I've never had any issue with ANY of the stuff that i-club helped me install (uppipe, boost controller, turbo-back, pulley, sparkplugs, etc.) Plus you get to meet cool folks and talk about cars/chicks/stuff.

EGT, Boost, Oil pressure all electrical, will have everything once they come in. I have a turbo timer where the clock was, thats where I want to put the guages.

Be very cautious dealing

with Vivid. They don't have a great reputation for customer service. Check the Vendor Reviews forum here and on NASIOC.
