I just ordered an A-Pillar Pod and 3 gauges (air/fuel, oil temp, and water temp).  I am going to suede the a-pillar pod, that is the easiest part.  But I need help with the installation of the gauges.  Does any body know how to install these and wire them up?  Any tips would help.  Thanks.

i'm thinking maybe you should ask Nick, (bottlefedturbo) I know he's installed gages in his car.

They're VERY easy if your comfortable with doing wires. The installation is very simple since all you have to do is get power, the signal and the proper wires for your lighting. Installing the sensors is pretty strait forward too. Just a matter of finding the most convienient spot.

Trust me, covering the pod in suede is not going to be the easy part.  haha.  When you do it, be sure you use a good, QUALITY adhesive.  It took me 3 tries with 3 different adhesives to finally get one to stick well when I did my door panel inserts.  The key is prep work.  Take your time and good luck. 

As far as the A/F gauge, you are going to need to get a bung welded in your downpipe to mount the sensor.  It is a pain to get to so you will need to remove your headers and take it to a machine shop most likely to get it welded in.  Oil temp and water temp shouldn't be too hard to get put in.

Are you running forced induction?

Not at the moment.  I am putting in cheap mods to make the xB look good.  But eventually, after I graduate from NADC, I will be using forced induction.  I am leaning towards the Greddy supercharger.  Once that is in all new gauges will be installed.
