As far as I know, you just hook it up as you said.

The stock wire for the boost guage you can just leave hanging inside the pillar.

I dont have one.... yet.... but i think its worth it. I ordered mine from Intense also. It does a TON of stuff plus if you plan on doing mods and stuff a scan gauge like that is always highly recommended.

I ordered mine Friday, I figured I am planning on doing stage kits in a few months so I got it when I could, but I have done a good bit of reading on it and have ask ppl about it. Most if not all have said it is well worth the buy, but I have also heard that some of them come with defect's in them there is nothing to big just get a hold of the company and they will send you a new one. so in hearing that I am willing to pay that price for it. I don't see anything else out on the market that comes close to what this is.

I just plan on putting it in where my old boost gauge sits, I went with the red/black to match my interior.

The AeroForce gauge is well worth the money. The newer version monitors more than the original one. To be honest, it is out of place but everyone who has seen it work in my car forgets the looks and is amazed by what it does. I do miss watching the needle in the stock one move. I watched one last night peg at 17.5psi....after installing a 2.8" pulley and 60lb injectors it was beautiful.

That dude who had the twincharge set-up on street fire has a sweet place where he has an AEM gauge. That's around where I would want to put mine if I had one. Personally I think it's to much money.

since everyone knows what you are talking about....

how is that too* much money? it reads info from you ODBII port.... that is a hell of a lot of features for the money. now if it just came with a small pod and some 3m tape to mount on the dash or something......

Jesus, I didn't ask you to agree w/ me. I said I think it's too much money. I've got other things to buy w/ 200 bucks for the car rather than a gauge. Should I have the same opinions as you?

That's what I thought at first but this gauge has been giving me nothing but problems. It cost me $60 in shipping charges to get it fixed and the "repaired" one is failing too. The features are nice but the quality is a little suspect. I really don't know whether to have it repaired again or just try to get a refund.

All of your posts referring to me are sarcastic and I have given you no reason to dislike me. "Your age really shows sometimes". What the hell is that? Are you jealous because I'm 17 and own a ss/sc, whereas when you were 17 you owned a 1980 Beretta? Don't quote my posts if you're going to say stuff like that in them.

Hey man don't hate on the Beretta, I had to drive one for 6months before the tranny dropped out of it. I don't mind the beef but dont hate on the Beretta.
