Hey all...I searched everywhere including the "How To Guide" and I can't seem to find how some of you installed your own gauges & gauge pod. I was just wondering if anyone could send me a quick link to this or give me any advice! Thanks!

 

what guage you putting in?

 

Autometer Wideband and Aeroforce Interceptor

 

the interceptor can be powered off the factory wires and ground. the wideband needs its own switched power, and iff you pop off the drivers side dash cover, you will see a big double metal bracket thingy, that is a good ground. kepp the wideband ground short as possible.i powered mine under hood, but if you goto the fusebox on pass side of console by feet, search for power there. it pops off too. hope this helps.

 

I find it hard to believe nobody did a "How to Guide" on this yet

 

hey i will be installing my wideband and interceptor this weekend. i'll do a "how to". how about you come down and we'll do it together haha

 

What do you need a how-to for?

There is a guide for installing a wideband in the how to section.
There is a guide for installing an interceptor in the how to section, all you have to do is tap a power wire and plug the cable into the OBDII port.

For the gauge pod, just open up that little cover that says "airbag" and unscrew it and put the gauge pod off the pillar. The stock boost gauge is just held in with a couple nuts, undo those and it pops right out. New gauge pod should just be held in with a single screw.

 

I was curious about the airbag...isn't it actually in the roof and not along the pillar? Just don't want that bitch hittin me in the face lol

Thanks for all the help

Are you keeping your stock boost gauge? I am for now but eventually I want to get a digital one...we're going to have the same set up

 

Yep, it is in the roof, along the top of the door, not actually in the apillar so there is nothing to worry about there.

 

yea i will be staying with the stock boost gauge until i go turbo which won't be until the car is paid off. sweet we'll have the same set up, woohoo.

 

sorry if that was a dumb question!

 

...come to Texas and i will install it for you!!! .......

 

Not a dumb question at all, lots of people worry because of that little cover that says airbag. But theres nothin to worry about

 

what the size of the stock boost gauge. 2 and 5/8? or 2 and 1/8

 

hmm i installed my guages a while ago...its pretty easy(interceptor and aem wideband) the only hard part i found is wiring up the wideband as i wired it to the passenger side fuse box..go to any auto store(i went to pepboys)...and get the little fuse add a circuit mini...make sure its mini as i didn't check the first time...and just go from there...im sorry for cutting it short but i have to head out to work...umm if ya need help shoot me a pm or give me a call 9176878725...hope this helps somewhat..and good luck...also unplug your battery before you cut and splice any wires.....
