Default Triple A-pillar gauge pod.

Ok, so I want to do this. I dont have forced induction or nitrous so would it be stupid to do this? What could I put up there? Next question is about how much is it going to cost for me for the apillar and 3 gauges. Is it something I can wire up myself? Thanks!!

Justin

it was not that difficult mine came with instructions from summit. The water temp. gauge has three wires, pos. neg. and sensor wire, I hooked in a T fitting where I had the throttle body bypass, attached the sensor wire to the top of the T. The A/F ratio gauge has three wires also pos. neg. sensor, sensor wire hooks up to your O2 sensor, sorry don't remember what wire. the oil press. gauge has three wires too, pos, neg, sensor, I also had to buy the oil press. sending unit, I think it ran about 10 to 12 bucks from summit, I drilled and tapped a hole above the oil filter and screwed the sending unit into it, then hooked the wire to the other end of the unit. sorry if the directions are kinda plain, PM me if you need anymore help.
