Default Gages in A/C vents

Anyone put gages in their vents, I have seen some TA's with them before but would like to know what size to get and how much of a pain it is. Thanks.

It isnt that hard of an install either, the pain is just running the wires. You need to tap into the correct wire from the PCM (depending on which gauge you are doing), then run the wire through the firewall. You also need to find a good +12 V source, that is on only when the ignition is on. Read up, and search for posts, there are plenty of explanations on exactly how to go about this.

Thanks guys, it should be easy as I already have the dash out of the car. I will be running a fuel pres, N2O pres and trans temp gage for the TH400.

As stated above, 2 5/8" guages. They fit snuggly into the vent holes with no modification. Install isn't difficult either. Just time consuming. Check my sig for pics.
