Are you gonna readjust the gauges? There all crooked! LOL jk man Looks cool, but too many for me. If you get right down to it, you don't realy need a boost gauge, so I just got a 2 gauge pillar pod with interceptor and wideband.

already done I noticed in the pic they were all crocked the wide band keeps hitting the air bag or something so it seems to move every time I put it back in.
How rich are you guys when you start the car? Mine started at 10:1 and then at 75f was at about 10.9:1

There isn't an airbag in the pillar. It may just be loose. If it is, use a rubber band or electrical tape around the gauge, then pop it back in. It should stay centered.

IMO it would look better if all your gauges were made my the same Co, but other than that it looks sweet.

I'll be doing the same set-up. Soon as my federal tax return gets deposited(which was supposed to by 2/09/07 :cussing: ) I'll order my gauges. I'm extremely anxious because my autometer pod and add a circuits came yesterday! Out of curiousity where did you wire your interceptor? The passenger side fuse panel or in the engine compartment? I've heard of problems with bus noise if you wire it to the passenger side block.

I wish they all matched nothing is gonna match the interceptor but I could have got the autometer wide band and boost gauges I ordered my aem before the autometer one was available.($100)more.Iwasn't gonna run the wideband all the time but since people are starting to blow engines I thought it would be a good Idea.

I just tapped into the pink wire going to the boost gauge for power it goes to a 10 amp fuse already and grounded the wideband at the black with white strip (it goes directly to ground somewhere) the Interceptor Gets it gnd throught the obd2 port. I wired the output of the wideband into the anologe input on the Interceptor then extended the lead to the bottom so I can hook it up to HP Tuners for data logging and tuning.

I think I would go with the electrical gauges.The factory boost gauge is electrical. It gets its signal from the bcm on the tan wire so I don't know for sure if this signal will work on the coblat autometer gauge.If not no big deal just run another sensor and wire it into the gauge.
