so i was putting in my new reverse glow dash kit when the side that has the boost and the oil temp came apart...i tried for about a hour to fix it but i dont understand how it works!! its like a spring that moves that controls the needle but im not sure how to re connect it...anyone else here ever done this by acident? help please!
 
not on accident, but yes..

for temp: you should have your white plastic base with the wire wound arm. The arm should end in a pin pointing up. At the base, there is a brass hole that the needle fits into (the longer side). The needle has a white plastic piece on it, one side of which has an oval openning. This fits over the metal wire-wound arm. The brass piece with the two large holes and small hole in the middle fits over this (the needle fits through the small hole as a guide). Place under the plastic face that houses the turbo and temp gauge and screw back in.

for the turbo:
kind of simple, the motor bolts to the face and gauge cluster assembly. As you look at the top down into the motor, there should be a metal tab facing outward. This should face the left, outsite, or driver side of the gauge.
