DSM'r in distress about something...

[Grimis]

something stupid, i feel dumb i did a search, dont know if i did it right, but did't find what i was looking for, I know Vfaq has some info on it, and i found some others, The Fedex man brought me my Autometer gauge works dual gauge pod and my autometer boost/vac gauge, i was also sapost to get my oil presure gauge, but some one screwed up and i got a ford windsor dipstick ,, makes me think about who [the vendor] is working with any ways, i have read that the "P" on the T-body is a good place, easest to tap, and some say the Fuel Presure Soiliod is the best. Can any one snap a picture for me and what size "T" should i get, i did't get one with my gauge. I hate being a noob but all well. Thanks for the help in advance

father to me "Wow Grim, You finaly got a boost gauge"

me to my father "be quite or you will install it"

1st is of the tap itself

2nd is how i routed my MBC

[A vendor] screwed me on an order too. They sent me a corvette short shifter instead of my fuel pressure regulator! Then I never got a response from them regarding it.

 

[Grimis]

.......You do know that you have to use tools to hook up the oil gauge right?..It's not as novice as the bost gauge..I'm planning on one myself here in the spring..

i just installed my boost gauge tuesday night
snake the power AND the ground down to the bottom of the dash.

pull the trim piece with the power mirrors and cruise on/off switches out.
on the mirror directional pad you will find a connector with several wires, but 2 of them are way off on the end with nothing above them
green w/ white stripe is on the very end, this is illumination power. if you don't want your gauge to dim ground the negative wire to chassis.

If you do want them to dim, the wire right next to it (the only wire next to it (grey w/ ?black?)) is the floating ground that goes to the resistor. connect the neg wire there.


the power turns it on and off, and the negative dims it.

 

[Grimis]

I have mine wired up with the stereo, but when i put my oil, i might run it that way, i dont know y i would want them to dim, but who knows, thanks tho

 

[Attack Eagle]

on the highway at night in the desert, you'd be amazed how dim you run your gauges...

mostly though in town, no problem... but dimming is great if your gauge is bright enough or too bright.

 

[Talon96tsiAWD]

thats the same setup i've been using on my pillar since last year. What made you go with an oil pressure guage? I am putting in an EGT in that bottom cup when i pick up my 14b.

 

[Attack Eagle]

ORSO: then tell him in person instead of on a national public forum. the rest of us don't want or need to read this teasing or slander or verbal abuse.
its not cool and not funny and certainly nothing you've posted had anything to do with the original questions in this thread, or any discussion automobile related ata all that arose from it.

Im requesting that this thread be closed as his questions have been answered and all that is going on now is bashing and bickering.

Since you know each other settle it in person or on the phone, and all of you please please refrain from responding to abusive language with abusive language. it just makes the problem worse.

 

[Talon96tsiAWD]

I agree matt, and as a fellow tsi owner, this chuck fellow needs to start taking his bipolar medicine, because not only being one ####ed up individual.... He needs to get his ass a fookin job!!!!

P.S. Chuck, if your ready to work your ass off, I can get you a job where i work starting at a 12/hour like I make...maybe you can pay for your car yourself instead of paying for it with EAGLE ONE HERE'S income :thumbdown

 

[Talon96tsiAWD]
