boost gauge and air/fuel ratio gauge install

[D Rock]

I was wondering if anyone has a link to a page that shows how to install a boost gauge and an air/fuel mixture gauge....

Boost gauge is simple - run a hose from a good vacuum source to it, one wire is for ground, and one is for the light that you hook up to a 12V source that comes on with the head lights.

Air/fuel gauge also simple - probably have 4 wires. One is 12V power source that comes on with your ignition key, one is ground, one is 12V power source that comes on with your headlights, and one splices into the O2 sensor's blue wire.

I don't know what kind of air/fuel gauge you have, so I don't know what color wires go where.

Boost gauge install: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/instructions/vdoboostgaugeinstructions.htm

Not the same as the disco gauge from autometer but the install is the same: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/instructions/afmeterinstallinstructions.htm

If wasting the money on a AF gauge there are a few WOT ones that only work on teh top .20V of the 1V system and each LED indicated .01V instead of the common autometer ones where each LED indiacates .05V. IE more accuarte of a reading from a inaccurate sensor. there are cheaper places to buy these but I just did a quick search on google. http://boostcontroller.com/index.php?category=11&PHPSESSID=c5c9a5e228b51a530d5731208062f7c2

i recently installed my boost guage andy eah i bought an A/F too i used www.vfaq.com for some help some of the pics arent working but its pretty straight forwarding if your mount it on the Apillar just drill some holes run the wires snake it down the side of the dash. first shove the hose for the boost down then through the firewall and connect to the fuel pressure regulator ..and i tapped teh power wire to the cig lighter..and for the A/F i looked under the tech forums theres a post showing which pin to run the blue wire to..but that wire is on the driver side center console and i also connected the power to the cig lighter. hope that helps somewhat
