Boost: Vaccum Line running to the MAP.

Oil Pressure: Not too sure. A wire running from the oil pressure sender must be changed to the new gauge.

EDIT: Here's an article for the Focus on installing an oil pressure gauge. http://www.myfordfocus.com/how-to/oilgauge.htm

cmon Nate. tell the truth. It takes alot longer to hook up the gauages, gauge pod, run wire, and have it not look ghetto than 2 hours.

Ask puppet.

His looks 10+++ and it took us about 4 hours with alot of screwing around.

But if you like ghetto......................

You da man!

lol, cmon

Ask BerinG, we did it together, he even had 1 extra guage to put in.

Just because you took forever doesnt mean I cant do it, cleanly.

How hard is to run wire under the steering cloumn, sod it, tape it, and recover the steering colum. Honestly, if you guys took 10+ hours to install 1 freakin guage, my hats off to you. :lol: Im not sure how ghetto you can get unless your not hiding any wires, and just twisting the wires together. :blink: I get compliments on the pod itself about how clean it is and not like all others on the A pillar.

Remind me not to get anything installed by you, especially if your charging by the hour.

EDIT: I should mention that the pods were already installed. Mine took over 20 hours to MAKE. ;)

But no, it doesnt take 10+ hours to WIRE up guagues. Your kidding yourself if you think thats the norm.

no, you read it wrong. His guage pod looks 10+++ or A1+++

It took 4 hours. And it seems like you guys are putting in the simple boost and A/F.

Step up to the big leagues and get a proper a/f.

Oh and I didn't do it.

And puppet is very picky. Especially with paint.
