Cheap Gauges that are great
 
i purchased 3 gauges: trans temp, 0-45psi boost, and 0-1600 egt's and the pillar and the wiring kit all for $199. its this company called Glow Shift. they have awesome deals and sweet gauges in many colors. here is the website... http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/:U::U::U:

I just bought a set of them about 2 weeks ago. I love them! They look sweet at night!:choochoo:

Only thing I didn't/don't like about them is that the lights stay on at all times when the key is on. :madd:

djwhonda92 03-29-2009 12:05 AM

ya i havent got mine yet but they look nice. how hard is it to install a set of gauges?

Cummins97 03-29-2009 12:10 AM

Pretty simple.

Be prepared, they don't give you much boost line, so route it as straight through as possible.

Never installed a trans temp gauge so no help there.

djwhonda92 03-29-2009 12:12 AM

oh but have you installed the EGT gauge? someone said i'll have to drill into something to mount it???

Coco2992 03-29-2009 12:15 AM

yeah man im getting the same or i got a friend who might sell me some bulllydog gauges cheap too

Cummins97 03-29-2009 12:20 AM

yea, you have to drill and tap the manifold for the probe. I took my manifold off to do it just to be safe. Shavings can be pretty tough on the turbo.

I'll see if i can find a pic of it and a write up on it.

97, why didn't you tape the lighting wire into the dimmer?

djwhonda92 03-29-2009 12:27 AM

ya that would be a great idea then you could turn the light down.

Cummins97 03-29-2009 12:31 AM

Because on the glowshift gauges, the gauge power wire is also the light wire.

If you hook it to the dimmer you will have to run your park lights at all times. :argh:
