Hi

I just went by the local ford dealer and asked about the boost guage of a fairmont to fit in my xr6t and he told me he has a typhoon set that a customer ordered and never picked it up. He said that I can have the whole lot including the harness for $500. Now the question is that this gauges are electric and not sure if they will plug in anywhere on the existing harness or do I have to get extra sensors fitted?

The gauges are oil pressure and boost. Any answer will be appreciated and also do you think $500 is a reasonable price for it.

There isn't a boost gauge in a fairmont.

I think you need a sender unit or two for the FPV gauges to work.

Does that include the gauge pod in that $500?

hey mate,

your better off just getting the fpv pod and buying some aftermarket gauges. The typhoon gauges are sh*te... I was quoted $250 bucks minus the gauges for the pod. Theres plenty of recent threads discussing different gauges etc.

Most of the electric boost gauges cost and arm and a leg, better to go mechanical for boost and electric for oil press/temp. I dont believe there is any existing wiring for the standard fpv gauges in the T. unless u got a clock.

for 500 u get everything including the gauge pod and the wiring harness. The only drawback is that they are electric gauges. I will have a look if the harness for the clock is there as my T came with the premium sound system and already has the footwell lights and the lights for the power window switches.

The harness for the clock will only provide power, you still need to recieve the signal to make the gauges work from somewhere.

I heard a guy say that he had brought everything to put the FPV Typhoon gauges in his XR6T and it cost him $1500.

So if you get everything needed to make them work then $500 is damn cheap!

By the sounds of it I still need to get the sensors only. The wiring harness that's supplied with the gauges is pretty long, about 1.5 meters. Thanks for the feedback, I will have to ask to see how much are the sensors required for it, but I thought 500 was cheap for 2 gauges and the complete pod.

Ive got the Typhoon setup in my XR6T and it cost nowhere near $1500 to get it going. $550 for the pod and gauges to fit, not the crappy ford ones, and $80 to install. Easy, works a treat and looks 100 times better than the SS inductions one I had.

Boost is mech.

First problem you will encounter is the fact that the F6 uses a electric sensor that screws into the F6 intercooler. The standard cooler doesn't have this sensor boss.

Trust me, fit aftermarket gauges. Much easier, and much cheaper.

Thanks for the input, looks like aftermarket gauges for me then.
