gauge install

[TheMoneyPit]

Is $300 too much to pay for 3 gauges to be installed?

 

[MKTURBO3]

yes better off doing it your self

You're paying to have gauges installed? What happens when you want to move them?

I'm bad with wiring. Is there a write-up on it somewhere? I have boost, a/f, and egt. the egt probe is already tapped in the manifold. Thanks

damn 300 for that?? crazy,just do that shit yourself

Ask someone in your area to help out...Its very simple.

The manufactures website for each of the gauges should have installation instructions and then the TSRM will have any wire diagrams/schematics you need.

Do it yourself, save your money for something else...

I not the best at wiring too but I did it. If you have some kind of understanding of electricity and how it works then you can do it.

LOL...Is the guy charging you $300 trying to be funny?
Do some research, ask some guys, do some readings and do it yourself.

That way you save alot of money and learn something new that you can be proud of.

Cheer,

A shop that does quality work will charge around $100/hr. Sure you could just slap them in real quick but it will probably take you at least 3 hours and who knows how well the install will be. Plus if anything goes wrong the shop will fix it.

It took me about 3 hours to install 3 gauges, but I took my time and planned the routing and secured all the wires.

 

[TheMoneyPit]

Well, I installed them myself on sunday and they came out pretty good. I'm glad i saved that money. Thanks for the encouragement.

Nice job, we even get to take a look at the very odd AC/Heat Unit
