I'm planning to put gauges into it as soon as possible. I want to make sure there are no boost leaks and that it's running at around 5-6 PSI.Problem is, I'm not sure on what brand of gauges I want to buy. I am thinking of getting Oil pressure and boost.I would also be looking for someone in the Perth area that is possibly willing to meet up and give me a hand as I have never done a gauge install.Would be appreciated for any help.Cheers guys.

(Full sweep just has more increments on it)Ive got an autometer cobalt boost and full sweep oil pressure gauge and a aeroforce scan gauge in the middle of my tripod, awesome gauges work and look fantastic.

I'm just wondering if anyone could give me some tech-know-how. I've got the vacuum line running into the cabin, just absolutely, no idea how to connect this line to the actual gauge.It seems the vacuum line provided is the exact same diameter as the Ferrule thing that came with the kit.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73205-gauge-install/#findComment-1089943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
