Gauges

[will.i.am]

How much to actually install gauges on your car?.. I got Quote from one of the mechanics, about 80 - 120 dollars!.. I want to install three gauges

- Boost control
- Oil Pressure
- Water temp

[scott.mohekey]

If that price includes the gauges, its reasonable.

Yeah I know, just looking for the cheapest price.. anyone can recommend a mechanic in AKL NZ?

Depends on the brand of gauges, and if that price includes the install hardware.

Remember with the oil pressure the oil filter will need to be removed(therefore an oil change will be needed), and with the water temp the hose needs to be cutm so maybe a coolant flush should be done.

The oil filter can be removed without the need to change the oil to fit the sandwich plate for the oil pressure take off you could also fit a oil temp gauge while doing it to, the only oil you would loose is whats in the filter when its removed so no oil change needed if not required :D

I'd rather get a professional to do it, don't want to accdentially cut any important wires...

It pays to have mechanical friends you know lol (which I have none btw)

Yeah the pic isn't mine I actually took it from trademe, someone was selling this car for 15k.. its either the sickest car I've ever seen... or the crapiest car.. too much junk onto one.. makes me think of optimus at the end of transformers 2 where he bulks up lmao

cheers for the offer VRKWGN! :D

I think the quote you got from the mechanic is for using either crappy gauges or you supply them... boost gauge is very easy, there is a how-to in the members section :)

Not sure about oil pressure and water temp, but I would imagine they are easy enough to install.

Save some cash and DIY :)
